I am reaching out to inform you of two exciting opportunities for health professional students and Residents that the Colorado Rural Health Center, The State Office of Rural Health (CRHC) is hosting in the coming months.
  1. Rural Healthcare Career Fair
    On Wednesday, April 16th, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, we will be hosting an in-person Rural Healthcare Career Fair during our Annual Rural Health Conference. This event will provide students and residents with the chance to connect with rural clinics and hospitals across Colorado seeking candidates for a variety of positions, including administration, clinic, and facility management roles.

This session will focus on opportunities and challenges in rural healthcare, loan repayment options and application tips, with the bulk of the time dedicated to a Q+A with a current rural NP to discuss anything from education to employment. This session is designed to provide valuable insights to those considering careers in rural and frontier settings. **Flyer with additional information and REGISTRATION link attached**
