My goal as the Preceptor Coordinator for this area is to help you gain fulfilling educational experiences by providing community-based learning opportunities and clinical experiences within the urban underserved communities of metro Atlanta. Community-based training will give you a unique opportunity to experience health care in a real world setting and interact one-on-one with your community based preceptor and patients. Current research has shown that health care professions students who have participated in these experiences have a better understanding of the complex needs of underserved communities.
The SPCC Atlanta AHEC is a non-profit regional health education center, based in Atlanta, Georgia. Our mission is to increase the supply, distribution and education of health professionals in Georgia.
Counties served by the SPCC Atlanta AHEC:
