Pennsylvania AHEC Primary Care Ambassador Program

Primary Care Ambassador Program

Promoting Students' Competitiveness in Applying to Medical School

The PA AHEC Primary Care Ambassador Program is a multi-year program that supports undergraduate students in Pennsylvania who aspire to become primary care physicians in rural and underserved areas, with tailored pathways for both qualified and disadvantaged students demonstrating medical potential.

Goals of the program are to:

Assist eligible students to successfully matriculate to medical school

Encourage students into primary care by providing maximum exposure to the practice of primary care

Recruit students to work in rural and underserved areas

The PA AHEC’s partnership with the College Pre-Health Advisors community is an essential component in building and sharing best practices related to underserved students and their pursuits of careers in medicine.

Schools working with undergraduate students pursuing medical school are invited to contact the Pennsylvania AHEC to discuss potential partnership opportunities with the Primary Care Ambassador Program.
