 Health Professions Education Center 

The Health Professions Education Center (HPEC)—within the AACC Office of Workforce and Economic Development—addresses the nation's current and projected health care workforce needs through representation of and support to community college health professions programs.

In collaborative efforts with both federal and non-governmental entities, HPEC demonstrates with data the community college success in meeting America's health care workforce demands and emphasizes the importance of the inclusion of 2-year institutions in both federal policymaking groups and laws focused on strengthening the nation's health care workforce. Access HPEC's Mission and Goals for more information.

HPEC welcomes collaborative and partnership opportunities; contact Roxanne Fulcher, director, Health Professions Policy and HPEC.
