On March 25, 2008, 108 attendees
celebrated National AHEC Week at the inaugural Indiana AHEC Program
Annual Meeting, held at the Downtown Marriott in Indianapolis. In honor
of the thousands of tomorrow’s health professionals who are now learning
and practicing in Indiana’s schools, post-secondary institutions, and
health professions training programs across the state, the theme of this
year’s Annual Meeting was “The Next Generation.”
Many of this year’s attendees were
members of the Indiana Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) Statewide
Advisory Board, a group of more than 40 individuals who represent a
broad array of Hoosier partners with a stake in ensuring that Indiana
responds to emerging health care needs with demonstrably successful
strategies to “grow our own” health care providers. Members of the
Advisory Board met for their spring meeting on Tuesday morning, where
the Board reaffirmed its commitment to ongoing guidance of the Indiana
AHEC Program and reviewed progress on funds development and
sustainability planning. |
