Special consideration is given to minority and underprivileged students.
CoRHSP is staffed, supported and directed by a group of eight dedicated medical students, University of Colorado School of Medicine professors, and University Hospital personnel. CoRHSP is an intensive academic program designed for students interested in the medical field. During the program, participants divide their time between instruction, group project work, laboratories, hospital volunteer positions, educational field trips, recreational field trips, other group activities, and time spent with a mentor. The program is fairly structured, however, during the week there is free time. The CoRHSP seeks to introduce high school students from rural areas of Colorado to the health care fields through an intensive, residence-based, summer program at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center.
