The Latino Research Policy Center celebrated the completion of the first cohort of Latino Health Certificate and Latino Health Course students. The students presented their work from a year-long mentored project. The projects ranged from protocol development of a home-based blood pressure monitoring intervention to analysis of qualitative research on immigrant young women and their reproductive health practices.
The mentored projects offered a year-long opportunity for students to work with a faculty member and/or community agency to hone their public health skills and explore areas of Latino health. The students also participated in a colloquium that brought experts in Latino health from the Anschutz Medical Campus and across Colorado. Speakers also came from the Nurse Family Partnership, Denver Health, CCLARO, SALUD Clinic, COLOR and other local agencies. Mentors, guest speakers and faculty joined the celebration. Students can choose CBHS 6645 for the mentored project and colloquium or CBHS 6670 for only the colloquium without the mentored project.
