What is MyAHEC?
MyAHEC is a new online service of the North Carolina Area Health Education Centers Program that is designed to take the best online resources developed by the NC AHEC regional offices and make them available on a single website to a statewide audience. The resources available on the MyAHEC website vary by user and are designed to provide the services and information required by each individual user based on their relationship to NC AHEC. The first general release of MyAHEC (version 1.0) is designed to meet the needs of NC AHEC continuing education participants. The NC AHEC continuing education calendar (found in the Education tab) provides searchable listings of all NC AHEC continuing education events. The transcript service (found in the Transcript tab) allows you to track continuing education events you've already completed. Future versions of MyAHEC are planned to support the AHEC-related activities of continuing education presenters, school or departmental liaisons, AHEC preceptors, residents, students, and many others.

What is MyAHEC "Beta"?
MyAHEC Beta is the first version of the website available for use by North Carolina health care professionals. We're still putting the last few pieces in place and fixing the odd bug or two and, as always, welcome your input. If you should notice something on the website that does not appear right -- perhaps incorrect information or an application not functioning as it should -- please let us know by clicking the Contact Us tab and sending us a message. Once we have implemented the few remaining updates to the site, we will announce the release of MyAHEC 1.0, the first fully operational version of the MyAHEC web portal.

Who can use MyAHEC?
The initial version of MyAHEC (version 1.0) is designed to serve anyone who has taken or is interested in taking continuing education courses through the NC AHEC program. Two of the features that support these CE participants are the CE calendar (found in the Education tab) and the Transcript service (found in the Transcript tab). Use the CE education calendar to find upcoming AHEC continuing education events of interest to you. Use the Transcript service to track continuing education events you've already completed. Eventually, MyAHEC will provide useful features for anyone who interacts with the NC AHEC program, whether they are health care professionals, residents, or students. New features are always being planned for and added to the MyAHEC website, so check back frequently to find out how MyAHEC can serve you.

Why so many questions during the account creation process?
Creating a MyAHEC account is a little more complicated than creating your typical online account because of the information we're attempting to manage. Even before you've created your MyAHEC account, you may already be in the NC AHEC Continuing Education database if you've ever participated in a NC AHEC CE event. Associating your existing CE record to your new account on MyAHEC allows us to provide the greatest possible level of service and support, so we try hard to get it right. In order to identify the correct record for you in our CE database, we have to ask you for your name, the last four digits of your Social Security number, and one other verifying piece of information -- usually a Zip Code or Email Address -- that we have on file for you. Your trust is very important to NC AHEC and, as we state on the login page, all personal information is kept strictly confidential. NC AHEC will never share your personal information with any individual, business or organization.

What is the MyAHEC transcript feature?
The MyAHEC transcript feature allows MyAHEC account holders to track their personal continuing education and credit history. The transcript is divided into two parts: AHEC CE and non-AHEC CE. Information within the AHEC CE portion of the transcript comes from the AHEC CE database and does not require user input to be created -- this information already exists within NC AHEC. Information within the non-AHEC CE portion of the transcript must be input by the user. Tools exist for the creation and manitenance of non-AHEC CE items. Additionally, users can create a PDF transcript document by selecting the transcript items they wish to include.
