deal of important information.<br />
Dress<br />
The dress code is casual for classes. We want you to dress comfortably and be ready to learn. Lab coats and<br />
“dress wear” are required in classes with clinical rotations, during clinical rotations only.<br />
Meals/Restaurants for Houston/AHEC Classes<br />
There are multiple eating facilities within walking distance, such as Subway, Chinese Buffet, and Denny’s.<br />
If you have a car, the possibilities are many. If it rains, AHEC has a small lunch area and you can order and<br />
have sandwiches or pizza delivered.<br />
AHEC National Classes<br />
AHEC does not provide lunch on-site in the hotel seminars. Lunch and gratuities average between $30 and<br />
$40 in a hotel setting. In an effort to keep costs for your CE at the lowest rate possible, we felt you would appreciate<br />
the opportunity to purchase your own lunch.<br />

Medical <strong>Center</strong> Garages is $11-13 per day. Parking at meeting locations outside of Houston varies based on<br />
