 MENTORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

The CWFHA Student Mentorship Program's goal is to provide an opportunity for student members to shadow up to three professionals to gain a perspective on the different health care careers and to gain/strengthen the student participation in CWFHA.

This program will give students the opportunity to meet alumni that are successful in their careers, learn about possible career paths and jobs, learn the Denver health care market from an insider's perspective, and get the opportunity to network in CWFHA. You will spend up to one half-day at three different sites. The pairing of this activity will depend on the student's interests and the schedules of the board and other members.

We would like to invite YOU to participate in this program. Get your application in ASAP.  As an applicant you must:

• Join CWFHA. Click HERE to complete an application.
• Be a female graduate student in Health Administration in a Colorado university
• Send your resume and a statement of interests (no more than one page) to the CWFHA Student Liaison, Lizzy Chapman.

CWFHA looks forward to meeting you and helping you network with our members. If you have any questions please contact Lizzy via email at the above link.
