Abstract

•We sought to identify practices used by AHECs for tracking long-term outcomes (beyond one year) of Area Health Education Center −supported program participants once they have successfully completed a health professions training program.•The study was a mixed-methods assessment designed to collect data on the description of activities, policies and/or programs used by AHECs or similar organizations to measure the extent to which AHEC alumni end up in health careers.•In the spring of 2016, 30 AHEC representatives from 19 states completed the National AHEC Organization (NAO) evaluability assessment survey.•The findings were synthesized into a reference guide with programs classified based on the level of evaluative evidence.•The resulting evaluation practices guide now serves as a tool for the AHEC network to promote dialogue among stakeholders.
