The South Carolina Office for Healthcare Workforce (SCOHW) is a division of South Carolina AHEC that studies issues that affect the balance of supply and demand for different types of healthcare professionals across South Carolina. Its primary mission is to develop accurate, reliable information about the healthcare workforce in South Carolina and to make that information widely available to support planning and policy decisions. SCOHW strives to be neutral in its approach to workforce analysis, providing accurate, timely information that is grounded in evidence and free from bias or agenda. Our work is supported through recurring state funds through South Carolina AHEC. The South Carolina AHEC Program Office is a state agency that is administratively housed at the Medical University of South Carolina.
