Volunteer TA Program Assistants
Teaching Assistant Positions for all US-based classes (see above for schedule)
Marketing Assistants (2-3 positions)
Curriculum Assistant
For any of these volunteer positions please send a resume and a letter of interest indicating what you hope to gain from the experience and what skills and strengths you bring to the course or to the Wilderness Medicine Section. Applications can be sent to todd.miner@ucdenver.edu. There is a general expectation that for TA positions you have previously successfully completed the course. Marketing and Curriculum positions require a once a week conference call but can be conducted from one’s home or campus (being in Colorado not necessary).
Scholarships
As mentioned, three (3) full scholarships are being offered for the March, May-June, and August Colorado-based pre-med classes. To apply for one of the need-based scholarships please see http://www.coloradowm.org/
