Underserved Preceptorships

Primary care residents are required to complete a preceptorship in an underserved area. All residents may choose to do an underserved preceptorship. Sites include:

• Stout Street Homeless Clinic in Denver
• Clinica Tepeyac
• Denver Health neighborhood clinics
• Indian Health Service Sites: Residents can take advantage of wonderful opportunities in vicinity. Clinics are located in Southwestern Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico (near the Four Corners). Several CU graduates serve as preceptors.
• Rural Colorado: Several previous residents of the UCHSC program have left the Denver metro area to practice in rural areas of Colorado.  Many of these physicians are excited to act as preceptors to current residents looking to experience a physician’s life outside the big city.  As medicine becomes more and more specialized, you can spend a month learning what it’s like to practice without easy access to a cardiac catheterization lab, an MRI machine, or even most subspecialties at a variety of excellent sites around the state.  Through the Colorado AHEC program, a stipend is provided to help cover some travel and other expenses/housing.
