HOST (Help Our Students Travel) — The HOST Program has
helped CU's fourth-year medical students find a friendly home
while traveling for their residency interviews. The HOST program
puts fourth-year students in touch with CU medical alumni
who live in or near the cities where their residency interviews
are taking place. The alumni provide students with a free
place to stay for one or more nights. Vist the HOST
page for more information or to register to be a host.
The Foundations of Doctoring is a three-year,
longitudinal curriculum emphasizing a humanistic approach
to medical care and is designed to equip students with the
basic clinical skills required of any excellent physician,
regardless of their specialty. Physician /Teachers are currently
needed. Click

The class representative is the primary contact between
the graduating class and the CU Medical Alumni Association,
especially during the reunion year. Class representatives
are invited to attend the Reunion Retreat and other medical
alumni events. Contact
us if you are interested in becoming a class representative
or want more information.
We coordinate significant reunion anniversaries (5th, 10th,
15th, etc.) for CU School of Medicine classes every year as
part of the annual Reunion Weekend. We are currently planning
2006 reunions for classes ending in "1's" and "6's."
Our staff takes care of most of the details, but the reunion
planning committee helps by communicating with classmates
to encourage them to attend. In our experience, this personal
contact from fellow classmates is the best guarantee of a
good class turnout.
