Welcome to the Northeastern South Dakota (AHEC), your roadmap to becoming a healthcare professional! The NESD AHEC works to improve the supply and distribution of healthcare professionals in South Dakota. Among our goals is to increase minority representation in healthcare professions to reflect the population of our state. NESD AHEC provides educational support -- from elementary and high school, throughout college and into professional practice. We work to educate, recruit and sustain a diverse group of professionals practicing in communities where healthcare needs are greatest.
