Frequently Asked Questions

What are the rules for volunteering at the C/E site?

You are expected to abide by the rules of your C/E site. Please ask your supervisor at the location about any expectations, such as attendance and dress-code. Additionally, you must follow any guidelines set by your academic program when working in a clinical site sponsored by your program. All students are expected to behave professionally.

What happens if I start AHEC Scholars but can’t finish?

We hope that everyone who begins the program will be able to complete it successfully, but we recognize that life doesn’t always work out that way. If you know that you won’t be able to complete a particular set of requirements, please reach out to your center point of contact immediately. Stipends are paid upon successful completion of annual program requirements. If you drop out of the program, you will forfeit your stipend and will no longer be eligible for the AHEC Scholars Certificate of Graduation.

How do the stipends work?

All participants in the Idaho AHEC Scholars program receive $500 after successful completion of each year’s requirements, including class attendance, all related coursework, and annual C/E hours for a total of $1,000 in stipends for the two years. Your center point of contact will communicate with you about the specific payment procedures and timeline for your Center.

What if I can’t make it to an Interprofessional Development Series session?

Due to the abbreviated and interactive nature of the series, attendance is critical. However, if you can’t attend a session due to illness or an emergency, please let the session facilitator know ahead of time so arrangements for an alternative assignment can be made. If you miss more than 2 sessions, you’ll be asked to withdraw from AHEC Scholars.

What technology do I need to use?

We will be using Canvas and RedCap. As all learning sessions will be online, you will need to have access to Zoom. If you need assistance setting up your accounts, please feel free to contact your Center point of contact for assistance.

What is the cost?

There is no tuition for the AHEC Scholars program, although there may be some costs not covered associated with participating in C/E activities such as activities, materials, and transportation.
