hese days, in our quest to keep children healthy and ready to learn, school health coordinators must be equipped
to educate students, families, and faculty about a wide range of health issues. We must be prepared to cope with
and manage previously unknown, complex, and sometimes chronic health conditions that are becoming a part
of every school’s daily life.
In preparing this resource, the Florida Coordinated School Health Program and School Health and Education
Consortium authorized a survey of school health coordinators to determine their health information needs and
the best ways to provide access to the information. More resources on diabetes and insulin administration were
cited as the primary need by those interviewed. This was followed closely by ftness, exercise, and nutritional
education to prevent or reduce obesity among students and faculty. Dental and eye health, allergies and asthma,
learning disorders, and attention-defcit disorders are other important areas. The list goes on to include emerging
health topics such as newly identifed chromosome disorders (Turner’s) and Crohn’s Disease. If a health condition
exists, it is likely that school health care providers and educators will at some point have experience with it.
Current and accurate information is clearly needed to support school health professionals, or as one interviewee
noted, access to “rich and free” health resources, to do your jobs well.
Since school health coordinators value speed and ease of access, this directory attempts to link school health
personnel to various health information sources with a phone call, an e-mail, or a website. If the desired outcome
is a seminar on preventing or managing diabetes, regional Florida contacts are provided for the American
Diabetes Association and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International. With a quick e-mail or phone
call, key resources such as speakers, brochures, and other educational materials can be obtained, often quickly
and at minimal cost.
Because the world keeps changing, the Florida Coordinated School Health Program staff recognizes that this
directory is limited in a printed format, therefore, it will be maintained and updated regularly in an electronic
format that is linked to the Florida Department of Education website and will be available for review or
downloading by school health coordinators around the state. Please let us know how the directory assists you,
and how it can be improved in the future with more resources or changes in format or access. We are committed
to uniting our respective resources to realize the goal of keeping children healthy and ready to learn in Florida.

Florida
Department
of
Education’s
Coordinated
School
Health
Program
(CSHP)
provides leadership for the development and
enhancement of school-level programs that support
student health and academic achievement. There
are eight components to a CSHP: health education,
physical education, health services, healthy school
environment, counseling and psychological services,
nutrition services, faculty and staff wellness, and
family and community involvement.
School-level CSHPs assist students by increasing
health knowledge, supporting healthy decision
making and behavior, and improving access to
nutritious food and physical- and mental-health
services. The CSHP model promotes a healthy
school environment that includes positive,
healthy role models such as teachers, parents,
and community members. CSHPs in schools and
districts are a primary strategy for improving the
health and learning outcomes of Florida’s children
and they strive to leave no child behind in their
efforts to become well-adjusted, healthy, educated,
and contributing Florida citizens.
Florida’s CSHP is funded by a cooperative agreement
with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention to expand and strengthen the capacity
of state and local education agencies to plan,
implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of health
education as a part of the CSHP. The intent of
the program is to strengthen the capacity of state
education agencies to implement CSHPs at the local
level.
Grant Components
?
There are three components to the grant.
•
?
The
Basic
portion focuses on strengthening
HIV/STD prevention education.
•
?
The
Expanded
portion focuses on strengthening
comprehensive school health education. It
targets six specifc health risk behaviors: dietary
patterns that cause disease, inadequate physical
activity, sexual behaviors that result in HIV/STD
infections and unintended pregnancies, tobacco
use, alcohol and other drug use, and intentional
and unintentional injuries (such as suicide and
accidents).
Priorities for the
Basic
and
Expanded
portions of the
cooperative agreement are to:
•
?
Provide leadership in developing and updating
policies.
•
?
Provide assistance to schools in implementing
curricula with credible evidence of effectiveness
(including providing teacher training).
•
?
Help develop school district capacity to address
1
the prevention needs of youth in high-risk
situations.
•
?
Involve young people in planning, implementing,
and evaluating health education efforts.
The third part of the CSHP cooperative agreement
focuses on building the
infrastructure
needed
to support all eight components of the school-
level health programs. This effort focuses on the
following four key supports for the programs:
•
?
Funding and authorization
•
?
Personnel and organizational placement
•
?
Communications
•
?
Resources
Program Components
?
There are eight essential components of the Florida
Coordinated School Health Program that address
different aspects of a school-level health program.
Together, they form a total strategy for improving
the health of Florida’s children.
School
Health
Education.
A school health
education program motivates students to
maintain, improve, and take responsibility for their
own health, rather than focusing exclusively on
preventing disease. It includes planned, sequential
instruction about health that is developmentally and
culturally appropriate for K-12 students. School
health education addresses the physical, mental,
emotional, and social dimensions of health and
provides students with the knowledge, attitudes,
and skills to make healthy decisions.
Physical
Education.
Physical education refers to
planned, sequential school instruction that
promotes lifelong physical activity. Physical
education programs are designed to help students
develop basic movement skills, sports skills, and
physical ftness as well as to enhance mental,
social, and emotional abilities. Florida’s Sunshine
State Standards and benchmarks for achieving
instructional outcomes in school health and physical
education are detailed in the Florida Curriculum
Framework: Health Education & Physical Education
(www.frn.edu/doe/curric/preK12/frame2.htm
).
Health
Services.
A school health services program
is designed to provide preventive education and
emergency health services, manage acute and
chronic health conditions, promote the health of
students, identify and prevent health problems
and injuries, and ensure care for students. School
health services can also include screenings for sight,
hearing, scoliosis, and dental health. A school
health services program coordinates school services
with other community health professionals such
as physicians, dentists, social workers, and speech
pathologists. These cooperative efforts between
educators and health care professionals help
students become healthy, active learners.
Healthy
School
Environment.
Healthy school
environments include the physical safety and
appearance of the school and the social climate
on the campus. School buildings should be well
maintained and well equipped. They should not
pose physical hazards for students or staff. A positive
social climate means that the students, teachers, and
administrators respect and support each other, that
all students are expected to succeed, and that the
school is safe and drug-free.
Counseling
and
Psychological
and
Social
Services.
School counseling and psychological
and social services focus on cognitive, emotional,
behavioral, and social needs of students and their
families. The programs are designed to prevent
and address problems, facilitate positive learning
and behavior, and enhance healthy development
for students (Health Is Academic, 1998). Formal
partnerships between schools and community
organizations provide health-related services for
students and their families. School counseling
programs develop procedures for identifying and
assessing student needs and case management
systems to ensure that students receive appropriate
health-related counseling and psychological
services.
Nutrition
Services.
School nutrition service
programs provide nutritious, appealing meals for
students to meet their health and dietary needs
for active living and learning. Providing good-
tasting, balanced meals improves students’ learning
potential, promotes good dietary patterns, and
reinforces the health and nutrition education
curriculum.
Faculty
and
Staff
Wellness.
Faculty and staff
health promotion programs focus on the physical,
mental, emotional, and social dimensions of health
for the adults who influence young people. Health
promotion programs can increase staff morale
and decrease staff absenteeism and health-related
costs. Faculty and staff health promotion programs
can include awareness and educational programs,
organized health activities, health assessments,
individual and family counseling, and employee
assistance programs.
Family
and
Community
Involvement.
Assuring
good health and academic success for young
people takes community-wide involvement. School
2
and community integration efforts can include:
establishing advisory groups and community
coalitions to support health efforts at school;
conducting awareness campaigns for parents,
community groups, and faith organizations;
involving parents and families in health-related
classroom, ftness, and school-wide activities;
establishing health- and education-related adult
volunteer programs; and establishing adult mentor
programs for students.

The Florida Department of Education and the
Florida Department of Health, recognizing the value
of collaborative efforts between public agencies
and the private sector, organized the Florida School
Health and Education Consortium.
The Consortium’s mission is to develop public
awareness of the value, role, and priority of school
health education and service, and to advocate
programs resulting in academic achievement, life

long health, and well being. Thirty-four health,
education, and business organizations comprise the
Consortium membership. The Consortium’s contacts
assist the Coordinated School Health Program at
statewide and regional training meetings, summer
institutes, and locally sponsored workshops. The
Consortium also advises the program offce on
health-related issues and devises action plans to
carry out its public awareness mission.

Overview
?
Eighteen years ago, The American Council on
Exercise (ACE), a non-proft organization, set the
standards for ftness professionals and started
rigorous testing to assure those standards were
met. More than 164,000 people have taken the
ACE exam. Today, there are nearly 45,000 active
ACE-certifed ftness professionals in the U.S. and 77
other countries. Through ACE, ftness professionals
can pursue certifcation as a Personal Trainer, Group
Fitness Instructor, Lifestyle & Weight Management
Consultant and Clinical Exercise Specialist.
ACE-certifed professionals are the most sought-
after and respected ftness instructors in the
world. Known for their inspiration, dedication, and
knowledge, they train and educate their clients on
safe and effective exercise techniques and motivate
them to achieve healthier lifestyles.
The influence of ACE is not limited to the professional
exercise industry. Because of our many public
outreach campaigns, ACE is the recognized voice of
ftness.
ACE advocates the benefts of safe and effective
exercise and constantly reminds the public about
the serious health problems caused by physical
inactivity.
In our role as “Workout Watchdog,” we strive
to protect the public. ACE researches, tests, and
challenges fads in exercise products, techniques and
trends, and debunks the ad claims of questionable
products.
The ACE Web Site is a resource for people interested
in information about safe and effective exercise.
More than 80 different editions of ACE Fit Facts are
available free to the public. Clear, concise, one-page
fact sheets covering a multitude of ftness issues, ACE
Fit Facts are distributed through our Web Site, via
Fax on demand and through hundreds of health fairs
and community events throughout the country.
Operation FitKids, ACE’s youth outreach program is
dedicated to enriching the lives of America’s youth
with enhanced education for healthy lifestyles and
increased opportunities for physical activity.

Mission
?
Fighting Big Tobacco, Bad Air, and the Asthma
Epidemic
The mission of the American Lung Association (ALA)
is to prevent lung disease and promote lung health.
Three major areas of emphasis are asthma, tobacco
control, and air quality.
Youth Programs
?
•
?
Asthma
Programs
-
Open Airways for Schools
teaches elementary students how to control their
asthma, with of goal of reducing their school
absenteeism and hospital visits. Sesame Street’s
A is For Asthma
offers simplifed asthma education
designed for preschool and kindergarten. During
the summer, the ALA sends area children with
asthma to a
weeklong camp
near Orlando to join
others in learning more about asthma.
Facts:
Asthma is the leading cause of school
absenteeism. Nationwide, some 10 million school
days are lost because of asthma, which is the top
chronic condition causing hospitalization among
children.
•
?
Tobacco
Control
-
Students-Teach-Students and
Teens Against Tobacco Use (TATU)
are peer-
counseling programs in which high school
students teach younger children the
dangers of smoking; and
N-O-T (Not On
Tobacco)
helps teenagers quit smoking.
Mrs. Claus Has a Cause
is a program for elementary
students in which volunteers dressed as Mrs. Claus
read the story of “Bizzy Bubbles, Santa’s Littlest Elf,”
to explain how and why Santa gave up smoking
his pipe (Not available in all counties.). In the Ft.
Myers area, world famous ventriloquist Jimmy
Nelson takes his sidekicks Danny O’Day and Farfel
into schools with the program,
What Every Dummy
Should Know About Tobacco.
Facts:
More than 431,000 Americans die each year
from cigarette smoking-related diseases. More than
3,000 children and teens start smoking every day.
•
?
Air
Quality
-
AirWise
teaches seventh-graders
about indoor air quality, air pollution, global
warming, and the environmental effects of
tobacco smoke. (See www.Airwise.org.) The
YEA Club (Youth Environmental Associates)
encourages
teens to explore alternative means of transportation
and help plan fun activities to promote clean air
(Available in the Tampa area only.).
Facts:
Air pollution is a problem for Florida, with
numerous counties still ranking poorly in annual
air quality rankings (See www.stateoftheair.org.).
Millions of tons of particles are released into the
air each year from power plants, factories, vehicles,
and sources in homes. Children are more vulnerable
to air pollution than adults because of their smaller
airways. Emergency room visits for respiratory
problems can more than double on high ozone
days.
Programs vary from county to county, and not all
programs are available in some areas.

edicated to Finding a Cure, the Juvenile Diabetes
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International
(JDRF) is the leading charitable funder and advocate
of juvenile (type 1) diabetes research worldwide.
The mission of JDRF is to fnd a cure for diabetes and
its complications through the support of research.
Type 1 diabetes is a disease which strikes children
suddenly and requires multiple injections of insulin
daily or continuous infusion of insulin through a
pump for their survival. Insulin, however, is not a
cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent the eventual
and devastating complications which may include
kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and
amputation.
Print Resources
?
A number of JDRF educational brochures contain
information that is useful for teachers, nurses, and
administrative staff at schools attended by children
with diabetes. Some of the more appropriate titles
include:
What You Should Know About Type 1 Diabetes,
A Child With Type 1 Diabetes Is In Your Care, and Low/
High Blood Sugar Emergencies.
JDRF also provides
Warning Signs
cards, which list the symptoms of
diabetes and low-blood-sugar emergencies and
are an excellent reference for school faculty and
staff when dealing with these situations. All of
these materials are available as part of a School
Information Packet which JDRF will be glad to mail
out upon request.
JDRF Web site
?
The Diabetes in School section of the JDRF Web site,
found at http://www.jdrf.org/school, contains the
JDRF Position Statement on Diabetes Management
in Schools, information about Section 504 and
other laws protecting students with diabetes, and
other useful articles and information. This is a great
resource for school faculty and staff, as it contains a
number of articles written with input from parents of
children with diabetes that discuss the arrangement
they and the school have made for the care of their
children.
Countdown Magazine
?
Countdown
, as in “countdown to a cure,” is the
award-winning magazine published quarterly by
JDRF. It offers in-depth analysis about cutting-edge
research and new treatments, and also features
poignant stories from some of the more than 1
million people who have juvenile diabetes and their
families. Each issue of Countdown also includes
Countdown for Kids
, the frst magazine especially
for kids with diabetes. It delivers important lifestyle-
management information for children with diabetes
in language that is sensitive, clear, and easy to
understand. JDRF will gladly mail out sample issues
and subscription information upon request.

has helped pass more than
2,300 anti-drunk-driving and
underage-drinking laws.
Programs
?
Street
Smarts
Street Smarts is MADD’s new elementary show that
gives students the latest information on how their
brains develop as well as how alcohol affects the
developing brain. Students are encouraged to make
safe and healthy choices to protect their brains and
their bodies.
Fake
ID
Fake ID is MADD’s multi-media show for junior
and high school students that shows young people
that they have the opportunity to establish a real
identity in life by making good decisions.
Power
Camp
Every summer, MADD conducts Youth Leadership
Power Camps that offer senior high school students
the opportunity to spend four summer days with
other drug- and alcohol-free youth.
Victims
Assistance
MADD is the nation’s largest crime-victims’
assistance organization. MADD offers a wide range
of free support services and information for victims
of impaired driving, in addition to hosting an annual
MADD Florida Candlelight Vigil of Remembrance
and Hope as well as an International Candlelight
Vigil of Remembrance and Hope.
Activism
Since its founding, MADD has helped pass more than
2,300 anti-drunk-driving and underage-drinking
laws. MADD was instrumental in the passage of the
national 21 minimum drinking age law in 1984, as
well as the 1995 “zero tolerance” provision of the
National Highway Systems Law, making it illegal for
those under 21 to drive after consuming alcohol. In
2000, MADD helped pass a federal drunk driving
limit of .08 percent blood alcohol concentration
(BAC), and is working to pass .08 BAC laws in the 31
states that do not yet have this law.
Please join us at our MADD Florida Web Site to fnd
out about these and other programs as well as a
calendar of upcoming events, or discover how you
can participate in helping to remove drunk and
impaired drivers from Florida’s highways.

Smile Florida
is an annual poster contest for grades
K-5 conducted in conjunction with Children’s Dental
Health Month in February. The objective is to teach
elementary school children the importance of good
dental health through a positive learning experience
that incorporates grade-appropriate Sunshine State
Standards for visual arts and health education.
Participating schools select winning posters from
each grade level and forward them to local dental
associations to be judged against other contestants
in that area. Six district winners per grade are
forwarded for state judging by art, communications,
and dental-health-care professionals. State winners
receive plaques. Teachers of winning students
receive monetary grants for supplies and continuing
education, and the winners’ home schools receive
plaques. All children participating receive certifcates
of merit.
Save That Smile (STS)
is the Florida Dental
Association’s dental outreach program promoting the
use of mouthguards in contact sports to help reduce
dental-facial injuries, including serious concussions,
among Florida’s young athletes.
The following material is provided to assist
educators:
•
?
STS Video: a seven-minute tape (geared for
students and parents) featuring Jacksonville
Jaguars quarterback, Mark Brunell, as the STS
spokesperson. The video provides general
information on mouthguards and the importance
of wearing them, the consequences that can occur
when no mouth protection is used, and counter
arguments to objections to mouthguard use. The
video can stand alone as the presentation, or it
can be used as the basis for a presentation.
•
?
Emergency Care Cards: pamphlets that list the
steps to follow in dental emergencies. A supply
of these pamphlets is included for distribution
to members of the audience. The information is
appropriate for students, parents, teachers and
coaches.
•
?
STS Brochure: an information piece that describes
the program.
•
?
STS Poster: a full-color poster featuring
Jacksonville Jaguar quarterback, Mark Brunell,
as the STS spokesperson. The poster can be used
as a visual aid in presentations and/or used for
display to create awareness of the need to use
mouthguards.
Curriculum
?
A curriculum kit for elementary school students
includes a videotape and classroom and homework
exercises. The cost of the kit is $28 (includes shipping).
A middle school curriculum kit will be available for
the 2003-2004 school year. Call the Florida Dental
Health Foundation for more information.
Speakers
?
Local dental associations have licensed dentists
or dental hygienists available to attend school
functions at all grade levels. Speakers are available by
appointment and speak on such topics as preventative
care, nutrition, harmful effects of smokeless tobacco,
and fluoridation.

Program Profle
?
The Epilepsy Services Program was established in
1974 to assist children, adults, and families whose
lives are affected by epilepsy and to respond to
issues that arise because of epilepsy. Administered
by the Department of Health, the Program provides
medical care for epilepsy, case management, a
prevention and education program, and other
services to Florida residents—even in the most
remote areas of the state.

Case Management Service Program
—
This program
is designed to help individuals with epilepsy, and
educate them, their families, and caregivers about
the disorder. They learn to accept and adjust to the
diagnosis and cope with the emotional and social
problems they face.
•
?
Medical, psychosocial, educational, and other
needs of each client are determined.
•
?
The treatment of epilepsy and the importance of
carefully following an established plan, which
includes taking medication regularly is taught.
•
?
Coordinate medical and other support services.
•
?
A case manager may also assist clients during a
crisis or help with employment issues.
The Prevention and Education Program
provides
current information about epilepsy and how to
prevent it. We help children and adults learn about
seizures and the social issues that go along with the
disorder.
•
?
Education programs for school teachers,
classmates, school nurses and nurses in health
care-settings, day-care workers, police offcers,
human-services professionals, and others are
offered.
•
?
Anyone can request an educational program for
their school, workplace, or community group.
There is no fee for educational programs.
•
?
Head injury prevention is an important aspect of
the program. The helmet safety project includes
participation in bike and safety rodeos, health
fairs, and other community projects. Helmet
distribution to children, teens, and adults
participating in bicycling and other wheeled
sports may be available.
A Summer Camp Program
can be a wonderful
opportunity for children to learn and grow. While
having epilepsy should not prevent a child from
going to camp, sometimes it does affect a parent’s
decision in selecting a summer program. For this
reason, the Epilepsy Services Programs work with
medically-friendly camps.

The Board of Directors of the Florida Foundation for
School Health is composed of one representative
from each of the various professional and voluntary
health organizations who have an interest in school
health. Incorporated as a non-proft educational

The Florida Foundation for School Health conducts

odd-numbered years, alternating with the Florida
School Health Association. The conference is
open to health educators, school nurses, teachers,
administrators, parents, and students in the
university health sciences. Up to 12 continuing
education contact hours may be earned by nurses
and health educators. In addition, education
programs developed by the Dental Association,
the Medical Society, the Heart Association, Cancer
Society, and other voluntary associations are
introduced for implementation in schools. The
conference is usually held in May and attracts 400 to
600 registrants and over 30 exhibitors.

The objectives of the Florida Optometric Association
are to advance, improve, and enhance the vision
care of the citizens of Florida. People at risk for
learning-related vision problems should receive a
comprehensive vision examination. This examination
should be conducted as part of a multidisciplinary
approach in which all appropriate areas of function
are evaluated and managed.
The Florida Partnership for School Readiness
recommends that all children ages 3 to 5 have a
comprehensive vision examination before entering
school. This information is included on the Florida
Department of Health 3040 form. Children born with
poor vision may fail both socially and academically
and may not develop to their fullest potential.
To assist children who are uninsured, the Florida
Optometric Association and Jeppesen VisionQuest
have formed a partnership of optometrists statewide
who provide vision examinations and glasses at no
charge. The goal of this program is to assure that
children are visually ready to perform in classroom
and extracurricular activities.
VISION USA,
a national program for the uninsured, is
sponsored by the American Optometric Association
and the Florida Optometric Association. Over 8,000
optometrists volunteer their services by providing
comprehensive vision examinations to needy
families.
Save Your Vision Week
, the frst week of March,
promotes comprehensive eye care, eye safety,
proper visual requirements for school and work
environments, and assists parents and teachers in
recognizing children’s visual problems.

Shared Services Network
Project
The Shared Services Network project serves a two
-
fold purpose by:
•
?
Helping communities develop decision-making
problem-solving infrastructures as they work
with students with disabilities and students who
are at risk.
•
?
Assisting school districts with the Medicaid
program.
The Shared Services Network helps a community
meet the multiple education health and social
service needs of children in a collaborative way.
Since 1993, Shared Services Network projects have
brought decision makers to the table to encourage
coordinated service delivery through interagency
agreements, shared funding, and policies that
encourage shared services.
The Shared Services Network process links the
school district with other educational support
and social-service agencies in the community.
This way of work is based on creating a team of
policy makers supported by a steering committee
or implementation group. The Shared Services
Network infrastructure provides:
•
?
A mechanism for dialogue and community
problem solving.
•
?
Encouragement for shared decision making and
shared accountability at the policy level.
•
?
A maximized use of available resources.

Overview
?
The Community Asthma Partnership (CAP),
Jacksonville, was formed in 1992 to initiate a
countywide response to the rising asthma problem—
especially among children and the underserved.
It is estimated that more than 60,000 individuals
with asthma live in the greater Jacksonville area.
CAP aspires to improve the quality of life for those
affected by asthma by improving asthma awareness,
education, and standards of care in the Jacksonville
community.
Programs
?
Awareness
– CAP distributes thousands of asthma-
related brochures, maintains a resourceful website,
runs TV and radio public service announcements,
publishes a newsletter, and participates in asthma
walks and other activities to raise community
awareness about asthma.
Education
– Ongoing education and training
programs are available for patients, parents, and
health-care professionals involved with asthma.
CAP believes that patient empowerment through
education is key to improving asthma outcomes.
Support
– Support for parents and patients is
available through the
Asthma Support, Kare and
Education Group (ASKE)
that meets on the third
Tuesday of every month from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at
Baptist Medical Center. These free meetings are a
valuable resource for those with asthma and their
families.
Service
– CAP conducts outreach projects to assist
people with asthma such as:
•
?
Improving access to asthma care in the
underserved. CAP conducts an asthma clinic
for the indigent monthly in the I.M. Sulzbacher
Center for the Homeless.
•
?
CAP and Wolfson Children’s Hospital’s
Targeted
Community Asthma Project (T-CAP)
identifes and
assists underserved and high-risk children with
asthma. T-CAP aims to decrease emergency
room visits, hospitalizations, school and work

Network
plays a vital role in the state’s
efforts to increase access to primary care for rural
and medically under-served communities. The
network is comprised of fve AHEC programs based
at Florida’s medical schools, and ten regionally-
based AHEC centers strategically located throughout
the state. The network addresses the primary health
care needs of Florida’s most vulnerable populations
through a variety of activities that include:
•
?
Providing rural and medically under-served
communities with medical-school residency and
intern programs.
•
?
Supporting health care professionals in rural
and medically under-served communities by
providing them with distance learning and local
programs for acquiring required continuing
medical education credits.
•
?
Introducing health care professions to young
people on the verge of making career and
academic decisions through health care careers
programs, day camps, classes, and site visits to
health care facilities and medical schools.
•
?
Making available timely information and
technical support to health care professionals in
their communities through computerized library
programs and internet linkages.
•
?
Promoting diversity in the ethnic and racial
makeup of health care professions through a
variety of locally based programs and initiatives,
including recruiting minority students to health
care professions.
•
?
Working closely with other health care programs
to identify geographic areas with health
care professional shortages, and to develop
strategies to recruit physicians and other health
care workers to those areas.
AHEC centers are also instrumental in bringing
together various health care providers in their
service areas to address important community health
care issues. In 2002, the AHEC network provided
953,981 community-based clinical training hours to
approximately 5,689 health profession students and
physician residents, and more than 65,287 hours of
community-based continuing education to 9,363
health care professionals in rural and medically
under-served communities.
