Family Health Centers supports the training and education of our future health professionals through learning opportunities, internships and clinical rotations.
Family Health Centers works with universities and programs across the country to provide clinical training. The Northwest Area Health Education Center (AHEC) facilitates clinical rotations for health professional students in health care facilities that are located in medically underserved communities, such as the Family Health Centers. The Northwest AHEC office is co-located at FHC-Portland which helps to link students with FHC preceptors, orient them to FHC and our work.
