Team

CU Peru is comprised of project members, advisors, collaborators, and a board of directors. Project members are made up of a group of students from various schools within the University of Colorado. We pride ourselves on our multidisciplinary team of students, currently spanning MD, PA, PharmD, RN, NP, and MPH programs.

We are extremely fortunate to welcome two mentoring physicians with extensive experience in global health as our advisors. They have offered their time and expertise on a volunteer basis and their mentorship will ensure that our programs continue to provide quality health care education. We are proud to work in close partnership with many wonderful organizations, these collaborators have provided and continue to provide us support and guidance.
