AHEC Career Enhancement Scholars (ACES)

PRIMO

PRIMO contracts with the Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) in Missouri to identify and provide support services to young Missourians interested in health care careers. This program is called the AHEC Career Enhancement Scholars (ACES) program.

ACES offers three levels of one-on-one programs for students who wish to become a primary care provider or dentist in one of Missouri's underserved counties. Students may enroll at any stage in their training; however early enrollment provides the greatest continuity of experience.

ACES is for high school students interested in pursuing a career in primary care medicine, nursing or dentistry.

ACES Plus is for undergraduate, pre-health professions students attending a Missouri College or University.

ACES-Pro is for undergraduate or graduate level students and medical residents currently training in a clinical health professions program in a Missouri College, University or Residency.

Participants in ACES are given priority for PRIMO Student Loans, when funding is available. For more information about PRIMO, contact us.
