The USF AHEC Program provides free library services to health care providers working with the medically underserved in Charlotte, Citrus, DeSoto, Hernando, Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Manatee and Sarasota counties. These services include:
- Reference materials for clinical sites
- Interlibrary loan of journal articles and loan of AHEC-owned books and other materials
- Database and Internet searches performed by a Librarian
- Ability to access the USF Health Science Center Library electronic resources.
In order for AHEC-affiliated community clinical faculty to access library resources, you must have both an HSCNet account and a USF ID Card. To request an HSCNet account, email Rimma McKnight at rmcknigh@health.usf.edu. To obtain a USF ID Card, print out and complete the USF ID Card Application and mail it to the address below along with a photocopy of legal identification (valid driver's license, passport, or State/Federal government photo identification card) and a recent passport picture or passport quality photo (head shot facing camera with white background, minimum size 2" X 2"). Upon approval of your application, you will have AHEC Courtesy Faculty Status, which entitles you only to access to the USF Health library resources.
