What is an AHEC?
The Oklahoma Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) Network is dedicated to providing support to students in the health professions. A network of four
regional AHECs is available to assist students and professionals in accomplishing their clinical training goals.
The Southwest AHEC, a not-for-profit organization, is a part of Institutional Research and Support Services at Cameron University. The service area includes 26 counties in Southwest Oklahoma and the Oklahoma City metroplex. Through collaboration with community-based partners, AHEC recruits students into healthcare professions, trains and supports healthcare professionals, and advocates eliminating health disparities. Further, SWAHEC is active in issues important to the service area: rural economy, health disparities, genetics, community collaborations, and the retention, training and support of health care providers.
