STUDENTS/CLUBS

One of the largest Student Interest Groups/Clubs on both campuses is the SIMS Scholar group. These students receive extra training in all modalities of simulation and assist with running Simulated Events. They compete in various simulation competitions, and create several simulated labs each semester. Some SIMS Scholars become Predoctoral Simulation Fellows.

Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine has developed several specialized educational tracks and programs to further develop the education of interested students. These range from 3.5-year-long tracks to single-semester elective courses.

Office of Research and Scholarly Activity at RVU

Student research/scholarly activity is a vital part of health provider education. Research enhances critical thinking skills and increases medical knowledge, as well as preparing students for graduate medical education. Therefore, all students are encouraged to participate in research activities while at RVU.

During their third and fourth years of medical school, students work on clinical externships, under the guidance of preceptors. RVU students have externships available to them through Colorado and the other Mountain West states.
