Service Learning
Health professions students from the University of Colorado’s:
along with students from Red Rocks Community College
and Rocky Vista University,
participate in service-learning activities, an exciting, hands-on approach to education during
their clinical rotation or clerkship in the CAHEC region.
These activities are coordinated by CAHEC and may include:
Health screenings
Delivering various health-related presentations
Promoting health careers to K-12 students
Health fairs
The core concept behind the service learning approach to education is that both the students and
the community members benefit: students take an active role in the community as a meaningful
provider and the community benefits by having concerns, needs and hopes addressed.
