Education Opportunities

250 students and residents come to CUHCC annually to complete their continuity clinic, clinical rotations, or field placements. These students & residents come from the School of Dentistry, Medical School (Internal Medicine, Medicine-Pediatrics and Psychiatry), School of Nursing, College of Pharmacy, School of Public Health, and multiple other disciplines.

Over 15,000 hours of educational related activities are provided by faculty and staff. Students and residents serve in many roles, including providing education at community health fairs, completing quality improvement projects and providing clinical care. CUHCC employs a dozen part-time student employees – many who speak a second language – who gain experience in health care as they are assessing future career paths.

CUHCC is the primary site for Internal Medicine-Pediatric residents. All CUHCC services provide opportunities to students and residents.
