Community Health Experience (CHE)

Programming includes:

• Provides community-based, non-clinical internships for future doctors who have expressed interest in working in medically underserved communities
• Enhances medical education experience with curriculum and hands-on experience in community health and health disparities
• Weekly didactic curriculum, including guest speakers covering Health Policy, Health Literacy, Immigrant Health, and Health Disparities

This program is a partnership between the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine and the NY Metropolitan Regional AHEC office and the three AHECs serving New York City (Manhattan-Staten Island AHEC, Brooklyn/Queens/Long Island AHEC, and Bronx/Westchester AHEC). The Metro AHECs are looking to expand the Community Health Experience Program to other health professions schools and community organizations.
