Thank
you to all who participated in the Indiana AHEC 2nd Annual
Meeting. We had a wonderful day with over 170 people registered
to attend, including educators, advocates, health professionals,
community leaders, 32 students, and many others from across the
state. The day began with opening remarks, "Pieces of What?" by
Richard Kiovsky, MD. While Deborah Allen, MD & Terrell Zollinger,
DrPH presented their research on "Shortages of Health
Professionals in Indiana," the students separated into their own
group: "How to Get to College and What to Do Once You’re There."
Three students, Tricia Kurtz, MD, Jennifer Maya, MD, and Erica
Williams then spoke about their own personal experiences with
AHEC. During lunch, keynote speaker Jason Young captivated
audiences with "Teams that Succeed Together." Awards were then
presented, followed by the adults attending the "Regional AHEC
Highlights" and students participating in the Healthcare Boot
Camp. The day ended with a special treat for the students, a
chance to meet with EMT's and go inside a real ambulance.
