Alyssa Berger is a Family Nurse Practitioner and a Clinical Instructor with the University of Colorado College of Nursing. She works at Denver Health in one of their community family medicine clinics and the hospital in their newborn nursery. She attended the University of Colorado for graduate school and the University of Washington for her undergraduate degree. She worked as a Cardiothoracic ICU nurse in Seattle at the University of Washington Medical Center before going to graduate school at CU.
Her passion is rooted in working with underserved pediatric, neonatal, and perinatal populations both locally and globally. She has dedicated her career to working within federally qualified health centers and optimizing access to quality healthcare for all populations. She has helped establish primary care clinics in Haiti and helped work with local organizations in Southern India, setting up healthcare access to rural villages and communities. She enjoys hiking, yoga, playing with her two dogs in the mountains, and investing in students on their own healthcare journeys.
The Traditional Pathway is a full-time, 24-month Bachelor of Science option, designed for students who may or may not have earned a degree in the past. This program includes classroom, clinical simulation, and clinical practice as part of the curriculum. The Traditional Pathway program will be primarily offered at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora. However, Traditional students may be required to attend some classes or labs at the CU South Denver location in Lone Tree. Students interested in the Traditional Pathway option apply through NursingCAS before the application deadline. Once admitted, students begin their program the following summer semester. The pace of the Traditional Pathway facilitates the integration of learning and acknowledges that students balance a number of responsibilities while completing their nursing education. However, please note that this is a full-time program of study; many students find it difficult to work more than 10-20 hours per week.
