They join Alyssa Strein, Colt Bohannon and Riley Rains to make seven students who have joined a program geared for students interested in a primary care profession. The AHEC Career Enhancement Scholars (ACES) program was designed to identify and work with students from a 19-county region in northwest Missouri who wish to become a primary care provider (internal medicine, family medicine, or general pediatrics), nurse practitioner or general dentist/dental hygenist with the desire to practice in the state of Missouri.
Students selected for the program complete individual career plans, shadowing of health professionals, community service projects and attend regional workshops focusing on medicine, dentistry and nursing. Missouri residents participating in the ACES program are eligible to apply to the PRIMO student loan forgiveness program. The program will “forgive” each year of a student’s PRIMO education loans for each year of the student’s professional service in a Missouri health professional shortage area (HPSA). If students are awarded the loan, they must commit to practicing primary care or general dentistry in one of Missouri’s under-served communities.
