The National Western Stock Show has invited the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medial Campus, and Colorado AHEC System
to provide an exhibit at the National Western Stock
Show January 9-24, 2010. This is a terrific opportunity for UCD\AMC to showcase our
education, research and clinical work to thousands of folks from all over
Colorado and the United States.
One part of the exhibit focused on our education and research work, and the second
part of the exhibit for a health-fair type program with blood-pressure checks, lipid testing and
health education materials. Training is required for students.
Volunteers Needed
There are 16 days of the National Western Stock Show, January 9-24, 2010.
Volunteers are needed for the exhibit from 7a.m.-9p.m. each day.
Over 675,000 attendees visit the National Western Stoch Show each year,
which includes farmers, ranchers, and students from urban and rural areas.
We will need students, faculty and staff who can
assist. We need to have 6-8 folks available in the exhibits at all times.
If you are willing to take a day and help fill it with volunteers that would be
terrific. If you are willing to come spend 6 or 12 hours with us that would be
fantastic.
This is a great opportunity to interact with students from 3rd grade to high
school to college and teach about the vast array of health career opportunities.
All volunteers will also have the opportunity to visit the National Western Stock
Show on the day they volunteer.
Departments!
If you have free give-aways (pens, etc) to showcase your school or departments that would be super!
The final product of a health professional who thrives in a rural medical
practice requires years of development, education and work. From grade school
to college to health career education, excellent education must be coupled with
rural experience and a receptive and supportive rural community. Thousands of
students pass through the National Western Stock Show Exhibits each year. We
hope to attract many young students to our exhibit and provide them with
materials and excitement about health careers, and health career education at
the University of Colorado health Sciences Center. We believe there is an
excellent cadre of well educated and motivated youth throughout rural Colorado.
By increasing their exposure to and experiences in health careers and health
careers education, we hope that more will choose a rural health career.
