Health care workforce development is the focus of the                           Interior AHEC.      o  First, get youth in our region interested in health careers.      o  Next, assist students, in health education programs, in finding          clinical rotations placements in Interior healthcare facilities.       o  And finally, keep rural health care providers happy, satisfied          with their jobs and engaged in learning by offering a          variety of continuing education opportunities. These are the "3 R's" of Recruitment , Rotations and Retention. Though Alaska's AHEC is new, we are fortunate to be operating as part of a statewide and national network of centers.  The  statewide network consists of a program office in the UAA School of Nursing and three satellite offices: Fairbanks, Bethel and Anchorage.                            (HRSA's AHEC page:  http://bhpr.hrsa.gov/ahec)
