Clinical Placements
Clinical training for medical, nurse practitioner,
and physician assistant students is available through
the AHEC Clearinghouse. Clinics that serve the safety

students who desire to complete required clerkship
or training experiences. All students are required

director at your respective institution and ask to
be placed at an "AHEC site". Students from

the AHEC Clearinghouse coordinator.
