           Carolina Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) Program
           began in 1972 with the purpose of addressing the need
           for improved geographic distribution of well-qualified
           health professionals in medically underserved areas of
           the state.  The Program provides for nine regional
           centers that offer education and training for health
           professional in their own communities.  The AHECs act
           as bridges between the four North Carolina university
           medical centers and the state's community hospitals,
           health agencies and health professionals.  Also
           included are some materials relating to the national
           Area Health Education Center Program.
