The UCHealth Critical Care Fellowship (CCF) is based on the

the Virtual Health Center (VHC). The CCF is a four-phased
orientation that utilizes the strategies of block learning with a
multi-system approach, an electronic daily orientation tracker for
more efficient preceptor communication and creative knowledge
verification methods for orientation progression. The first three
phases of the CCF occur during precepted orientation, while phase 4
occurs post-orientation with the additional clinical support
strategy of the VHC. The 14-week program is aligned to successfully
support External and Internal RN Pathway RNs with no previous
