The Maine Area Health Education Center (AHEC) Network is a statewide healthcare workforce development program. 

Maine AHEC Network's mission is to prepare and support Maine's healthcare workforce by creating healthcare learning opportunities for youth, students, and professionals to foster healthier communities and expand access to care across Maine.

We fulfill our mission by:

• Encouraging and supporting Maine youth to pursue careers in the health professions
• Providing didactic and community-based education to health professions students to prepare them to provide care for rural and medically underserved communities Maine
• Offering continuing education programs to practicing health professionals

Our central program office is based at the Â鶹´«Ã½ with three regional AHEC Centers located throughout Maine in order to have a statewide reach.

The Maine AHEC Network is supported by funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration grant U77HP03021, the Â鶹´«Ã½, the Finance Authority of Maine, and other public and private grants.
