Process for Choosing a Third Year AHEC Rotation

• Each spring semester, the AHEC Office sponsors an AHEC fair for all rising third year medical students.  Third year students should attend this fair to see what sites they are interested in.
• At the fair, students fill out an AHEC rotation request form, which is supplied by the Department of Family and Geriatric Medicine and return the form to Ann Loop, Departmental Coordinator, Family and Geriatric Medicine.
• Students will receive conformation of rotation and location assignment from the Department of Family and Geriatric Medicine.
• Students will complete an AHEC Fact Sheet and return it to Ann Loop for signature.  She will then forward the Fact Sheet to the AHEC Program Office.  The AHEC Program Office will send the fact sheet to the Regional Coordinator and the Student Affairs Office.
  
• Regional AHEC coordinators will make housing arrangements for the student if needed.
• If eligible, students will receive a stipend for housing and/or food prior to the start of the rotation from the Office of Financial Affairs.  (West AHEC and South Central AHEC will issue stipends for their region).
• Students must bring a copy of their immunization record, picture ID, student ID and name tag with them to the AHEC site.
• Upon completion of the rotation, the student will complete the AHEC assessment form and return to Ann Loop in the Department of Family and Geriatric Medicine, who will forward the assessment form to the AHEC Program Office.
