Health Careers Program (HCP)
The South Carolina AHEC Health Careers Program (formally the Student Development & Diversity Program) works to increase the number of students entering the health professions in South Carolina.

The Health Careers Program (HCP) is designed to develop academically proficient and self-confident future health care professionals.
Specific goals are to:
Facilitate a coordinated, statewide approach for increasing the number and diversity of students entering the health professions pipeline in South Carolina.
Identify additional resources to support student programs in the state.
Develop an evidenced-based healthcare student recruitment and retention plan of activities.
The primary function of HCP is the Health Careers Academy (HCA).
