What's Happening at Wake AHEC?
Sandie Manning Presents at the 2026 ACCME National Conference
Sandie Manning, MAEd, Associate Director of CME and Pharmacy for Wake AHEC, presented at the 2026 ACCME National Conference to share tips for achieving Accreditation with Commendation. The session provided a forward-looking framework to integrate Commendation goals into your existing workflows and shared best practices for successful implementation, along with examples of how to streamline without sacrificing quality. Following the conference, the ACCME website highlighted Sandie's experience with Identifying Potential Partners - ACCME. "CME providers don't just work within one setting—we work across hospitals, communities, and health departments,” Sandie said. “Applying for Commendation is about understanding how you fit into this larger system.”

2026 Mini-Medical School Summer Camps Held In Creedmoor and Louisburg
Two cohorts of high school students participated this summer in Wake AHEC’s Mini-Medical School Camp, in conjunction with Vance-Granville Community College's campuses in Creedmoor and Louisburg. The programs are intensive, week-long day camps that use computational science (computer simulation) and hands-on activities (dissection) to study key aspects of medicine. Topics include anatomy & physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, cardiology, epidemiology, medical genetics, and genomics. In addition, students receive CPR certification.
