2011-2012 CCIHP Fellows

CCIHP seeks to appoint four to five rising second-, third-, or fourth-year students to serve as the 2011-12 CCIHP Fellows.
We are looking for energetic, committed, creative, and engaged students to help build a vibrant community of pre-health
students. CCIHP Fellows will be selected from applicants who demonstrate:

 Passion: A commitment to helping others and love of health, medicine, and science
 Communication: Strong interpersonal, professional, leadership, and collaborative skills
 Playfulness: Warm, friendly, and welcoming demeanor
 Engagement: Sustained involvement in the College and the surrounding communities
 Savvy: Basic computer and web-based skills
 Collegiality: Ability to work as part of a close-knit team of Fellows

As pre-health student ambassadors, the Fellows serve as peer mentors, offering guidance and support to first-, second-,
and third-year students interested in careers in the health professions. The Fellows also assist the CCIHP staff in
providing a range of programs and services from career exploration to the development of professional and leadership
skills. As advanced students with a wealth of experience, the Fellows are uniquely suited to work with pre-health students
as they navigate the process of building a portfolio of academic and civic experiences.

The Fellows are appointed annually, and serve from September-June (i.e., applicants must commit to all three quarters).
Fellows are expected to work approximately six hours per week and are paid $1,650 ($550/quarter). CCIHP will also
provide the Fellows with a budget to support their events. Fellows will:

 Play! Healthcare is a team sport! Help make the CCIHP office a welcoming and fun space.
 Establish and maintain scheduled walk-in hours
 Attend two CCIHP-sponsored events each quarter
 Attend weekly meetings with the other Fellows
 Attend bi-weekly meetings with CCIHP staff
