VINCENNES, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV)– Southwest Indiana Area Health Education Center (AHEC) is recognizing the efforts of two members of Good Samaritan Hospital in Vincennes.
Allyson Wehrheim and Erin Sievers have received Outstanding Preceptor awards for their work with students in the University of Evansville Physician Assistant Program. Weheheim and Sievers are both certified Physician’s Assistants and both received their Master of Physician Assistant Studies at Butler University. After finishing their degrees, the two then returned to their hometown of Vincennes. Both women usually work with around a dozen students each academic year.
Precepts are instructors that work to mentor medical students during their time in school. These two primarily work with students who are looking to learn more about primary healthcare in rural or underserved communities. Students in their care have described their precepts as “fantastic” and always willing to field questions and make the students in their care comfortable.
“Southwest Indiana AHEC recognizes their dedication to educating future health professionals by sharing their passion and clinical knowledge by precepting students, which is critical to the long-term health of rural communities” says Jane Friona, Executive Director of Southwest Indiana AHEC.
