Health Careers
Congratulations to the Greensboro AHEC Inaugural Scholars!

We Educate, Explore and Engage
The Health Careers and Workforce Diversity program (HCWD) works to improve the supply and distribution of the healthcare workforce and to increase minority representation in health professions in North Carolina. We provide support through the length of a healthcare professional’s career – from elementary school to high school and to college and beyond. Greensboro AHEC works with colleges, universities, county school systems and regional healthcare agencies on health-career efforts all across the Greensboro AHEC service region.
The purpose is to develop and maintain initiatives in the community and work to identify gaps in the educational pathway. By facilitating health-career exposure and enrichment, job shadowing and college preparation activities, the HCWD program hopes to strengthen health-career workforce development efforts and increase the numbers of quality healthcare providers in the state.
