Our customers, or Learners as we in the AHEC say, have a motivation or desire to learn more to stay current, comply with licensure requirements, and be an active lifelong learner. I’d like to share what goes into our workflow when we think of our learners through their journey in continuing professional development with Northwest AHEC.

The Northwest AHEC Practice Support Team is committed to promote understanding and improve the orientation of Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) for North Carolinians. In order to support these goals, we will share a publication on SDOH each month on our Practice Support Blog. This week, we would like to introduce an article "Suburban Families' Experience With Food Insecurity Screening in Primary Care Practices" from PubMed.Gov. Our practice support team has identified this article as a valuable resource to healthcare professionals in our region. The article touches on a number of food insecurity issues which enable the healthcare provider to look at the patient as a whole person instead of a specific condition in order to improve overall health outcomes.

Access to dental care for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) is identified by families as one of the most challenging health issues they encounter. Families face substantial difficulty finding dentists who have experience providing care to children and adults with I/DD and often have to travel great distances to access dental care. The goal of this virtual workshop is to improve access by enhancing the skills and comfort level of dental teams to provide basic dental care to individuals with I/DD.
