This is a longitudinal program with interdisciplinary curricula to implement a defined set of clinical, didactic, and community-based activities.

We have one of the most diverse number of professions involved as well as one of the programs with the most students enrolled. The immediate success of Montana AHEC Scholars demonstrates how Montana’s health professions students are willing to go above and beyond what is required to enhance their interprofessional knowledge and experience.
