Projects
Partnership
to Increase Hispanic Cancer Research Education in Colorado
The CSU-Pueblo, as a Hispanic serving institution,
and the University of Colorado Comprehensive Cancer Center are
collaborating efforts to create a foundation for advancing cancer
research, cancer training and career development throughout Colorado.
The project includes the Departments of Biology
and Nursing
at CSU-Pueblo.
The aim of this partnership is to reduce disparities in cancer
control and prevention, as well as develop an avenue to promote
access to graduate programs for students from secondary education
through undergraduate programs in the region.

Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Program - Abstract
Clinical Enterprise
Model Program
funded by Caring for Colorado Foundation and Parkview
Medical Center
The program will focus on providing care to the uninsured working
class poor in our community as well as assisting in meeting the
nursing shortage. The Model will also be an integral part of the
CSU-Pueblo Department of Nursing effort to reinvent nursing education
to meet the needs of the 21st Century. By doing their clinical
training at the Model the students will get involved in real-life,
hands on community health projects. The Clinical Enterprise Model
moves the curriculum beyond the traditional classroom; it is an
exceptional site for community-based clinical learning. Measures
will involve an extensive evaluation of provider and service impact
on health risk behaviors and prevention strategies.
