At the Anschutz Medical Campus there are eleven themed Student Academic Communities (SACs). These are interdisciplinary interest groups led by student liaisons to further professional development and interdisciplinary interaction across the campus community.  The SACs collaborate to bring the campus exciting, significant, and professionally relevant information that augments the regular curriculum.

Each community utilizes an assigned space on campus where students can pick up information on current events, student organizations, or just kick back and visit with other students.   Students are invited make coffee, store lunches in the refrigerators and kitchenette areas, and make any of the communities their place for relaxation and socialization throughout the day.

Student Liaisons are hired by the Student Assistance Office, and are supported in their programming efforts by the Student Assistance Office as well as the REACH program which is responsible for the Interprofessional Education portion of the health professional curriculum. 

If families have resources available to help sustain this co-curricular effort for the campus, feel free to contact the Student Assistance Office directly, so we can utilize your knowledge, skills and other resources for the professional development of our students at the Anschutz Medical Campus.

The themes for the SACs are: 

• Acute Care
• Bioethics and Humanities
• Complementary and Alternative Medicine
• Diversity and Health Care 
• Fitness/Wellness
• Geriatric Health
