Celebrating the First American Indian Health - AHEC Scholars Cohort: A Milestone Achievement!

We are thrilled to celebrate the incredible journey of our first American Indian Health - AHEC Scholars Cohort, who have successfully completed this transformative program! These dedicated students - a mix of nursing, physician assistant, medicine, physical therapy, public health - have spent the past two years immersed in hands-on learning experiences, interprofessional training, and community-based healthcare initiatives, all with the goal of improving health outcomes in rural and underserved areas.

Through their hard work, resilience, and passion for healthcare, they have developed the skills and knowledge to make a lasting impact in their communities. From clinical rotations to community outreach on the Tohono O’odham Nation, each scholar has demonstrated a deep commitment to addressing healthcare disparities and enhancing patient care.

As they step into the next chapter of their careers, we extend our heartfelt congratulations and best wishes for their future endeavors. Whether they continue their education, begin practicing in the field, or engage in advocacy and leadership, we know they will bring positive change wherever they go.

To our American Indian Health AHEC Scholars graduates—thank you for your dedication, your compassion, and your commitment to healthcare excellence. We are so proud of all that you have accomplished and can’t wait to see the difference you will make in the world!

🎉 Congratulations, American Indian Health AHEC Scholars! Wishing you success in all that you do! 🎉
