Clinical and Community Affairs
The Office of Clinical and Community Affairs oversees nursing practice across the College of Nursing's clinics, from midwifery to general care — ensuring every practice operates smoothly, responsibly, and in alignment with University of Colorado standards. Our work spans strategic planning for clinical and community initiatives, managing practice agreements, advising the Dean on clinical matters, and serving as a liaison between our clinics and CU Anschutz Campus, community organizations, and other external partners.
Our mission is to grow and strengthen nurse-led care and build community partnerships that advance the College of Nursing's broader goals.
