South Carolina AHEC Continuing Professional Development Programs

South Carolina AHEC supports the state’s healthcare workforce by offering educational programs to many healthcare professionals. Programs provide knowledge and updated information to healthcare professionals across multiple disciplines so they can provide the best possible care to communities.

Our continuing professional development programs identify the educational needs of healthcare professionals and provide programs designed to enhance clinical skills and maintain professional licensure and certifications. Programs are delivered through traditional methods and innovative technologies.

In addition to in-person programs hosted throughout the state by the four regional AHEC centers, a large library of online and on-demand education is available via the South Carolina AHEC Learning Portal and AHEC U.

Especially during a pandemic, it is imperative that our healthcare workforce is able to maintain their licensure and certifications. As such, we are doing our best to maintain continuing professional development programming.

In collaboration with our instructors and our participants, in-person continuing professional development programs across the state are being transitioned to remote learning via WebEx or rescheduled if the program requires hands-on or in-person training components. This decision is being made on a program-by-program and regional basis. The regional AHEC centers will be in touch with registered participants about upcoming programs.

In the meantime, please check out the wealth of educational programs available online from the South Carolina AHEC System:
