About Health Career Promotions
The goal of Brazos AHEC Health Careers Promotion is to recruit under-represented and disadvantaged individuals,
and prepare them for health professions education by providing health career awareness activities. The Health Careers
Promotion division of the Brazos AHEC provides career decision makers with information about health careers training
and opportunities. Students are encouraged to seek their education and placement in rural and medically underserved communities in Central Texas. Information available for both students (K-12) and career-changing adults.
Brazos AHEC partners with schools and other service organizations to provide opportunities for youths. If your agency
helps the youth in your community reach their highest potential, has speakers available for classroom presentations, or
provides career enhancement opportunities, AHEC would like to join with you in these efforts.
