Our target audiences for these activities are physicians and healthcare team members residing or working within the Wake AHEC nine-county region. We offer a range of activities including regularly scheduled series, workshops, conferences and practice-based improvement programs and we commit to exploring other educational delivery methods for meeting our audience’s needs.
