Colorado Mountain College and CU School of Medicine Launch New Pathway for Aspiring Physicians

February 3, 2026

Colorado Mountain College has entered into a new partnership with the University of Colorado’s School of Medicine that creates an exciting opportunity for CMC students pursuing careers in medicine. Under a recently signed agreement, qualifying CMC students will receive a guaranteed interview with the CU School of Medicine—a significant milestone in an otherwise highly competitive admissions process. The partnership is designed to strengthen the pathway from CMC to medical school, particularly for students in rural and mountain communities. While an interview does not guarantee admission, it represents a critical step forward. Many medical schools interview only two to three candidates for every available seat, making the interview itself one of the most challenging barriers to overcome. To be eligible for the guaranteed interview, students must complete a bachelor’s degree, (the Bachelor of Biological Science recommended), maintain a strong academic record, and earn a competitive MCAT score. For specific requirements, students are encouraged to contact Colorado Mountain College directly for the most current and detailed information: https://coloradomtn.edu/admissions/. Students will also be expected to submit well-rounded, high-quality applications that demonstrate academic preparation, clinical exposure, and professional readiness. CMC is working with local medical professionals to expand shadowing and patient-care exposure opportunities across a range of specialties, allowing students to gain firsthand experience in clinical settings. As part of the partnership, CMC and CU School of Medicine will collaborate to help CMC students access current CU medical students for mentorship. Beginning this fall, CMC will further strengthen this pathway with the launch of the new Bachelor of Biological Science degree, along with advanced coursework in cell and molecular biology at the Steamboat Springs and Breckenridge campuses. However, the Pre-Medicine pathway at CMC is flexible and accessible across campuses. Because it is a pathway rather than a standalone degree, students may declare Pre-Medicine from any CMC location, as long as they complete the necessary… Read more: Colorado Mountain College and CU School of Medicine Launch New Pathway for Aspiring Physicians

CMC Theatre Presents The White Chip

February 3, 2026

Colorado Mountain College and Sopris Theatre Company will present The White Chip, a powerful and darkly funny play by Sean Daniels, directed by Julia Whalen. The production will be staged at the New Space Theatre in Spring Valley and features a mix of evening and matinee performances in February. The White Chip tells the story of Steven McAlister, a man who appears to have mastered the art of success. Between hangovers, he graduates from college, builds a thriving theatre company, marries, and secures his dream job at a major regional theatre. But when personal and professional pressures collide—including a failing marriage, a parent’s declining health, and an unraveling career—Steven’s carefully maintained balance begins to collapse. Told with biting humor and emotional honesty, the play explores addiction, ambition, and recovery without sentimentality. Daniels’ script offers a deeply human portrayal of what it means to confront personal failure and rebuild a life with the help of an unexpected community. The result is a story that is both entertaining and unflinchingly real. The CMC production is directed by Julia Whalen, with design by Brad Moore and stage management by Dakota Lavigne. The cast includes Scott Elmore as Steven, with Rebecca Horn and Calvin Parrish appearing in multiple supporting roles. In addition to live performances, select shows will include livestream and post-show conversations, creating opportunities for audiences to engage more deeply with the themes of the play. Performances take place at the New Space Theatre in Spring Valley on February 6, 7, 13, and 14 at 7 pm, with matinee performances on February 8 and 15 at 2 pm. Livestream and post-show conversations are scheduled for February 7, 8, and 13. Tickets are priced at $20 for adults and $15 for seniors, students, and CMC faculty and staff.
