AHEC Spotlight Series

AHEC Spotlight Series

The Office of Primary Care and AHEC Program invites medical students to learn about various aspects of practicing medicine, primarily in the primary care setting. Our AHEC Spotlight Series events are offered throughout the academic year at the Larner College of Medicine. All medical students are welcome.

These one-hour sessions are great opportunities for students to begin building their connection to AHEC. Attendance will be reflected on AHEC Scholars transcripts. We are pleased to welcome a wide-range of physicians and other content experts to join these panel discussions.
