A collaboration established in 1974 between the Pennsylvania State Office of Mental Health and Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center provides a comprehensive program of continuing mental health education, skills development, and program consultation to state hospitals and publicly funded community programs in rural and semirural western Pennsylvania. The authors describe the development of the program and discuss its current organization and activities. In 1990-91 a total of 60 faculty and 150 staff members from the institute contributed more than 1,200 hours of direct programming. The collaboration's activities have broadened in both hospital and community sectors and currently involve all of the university's health and medical care schools.
This longitudinal study examined the effect of an urban Area Health Education Center (AHEC) program on choice of primary care as a medical specialty by comparing three groups of medical students. The first group was not exposed to any AHEC clinical training. All other students were variously exposed: one group received AHEC training only in required ambulatory/primary care clerkships, whereas the other group voluntarily took one or more AHEC-sponsored clinical electives. Applying chi-square analysis and the Z-score test for correlated data, no meaningful program effect was found at the end of the fourth year of medical school or seven years after graduation. These results are discussed in the context of program implementation and contemporary medical education in the United States.
