Welcome to the Department of Family Medicine’s Undergraduate Medical Education (UME) program.

We are a highly successful program - mentoring, advising, and providing educational offerings within the University of Colorado School of Medicine, as well as in community education and inter-professional opportunities. We also play an important role in ensuring that our clinical faculty have the most current resources and training available.

Our program includes a primary care curriculum consisting of either a traditional or integrated longitudinal medicine clerkship (ILMC), a mentored scholarly activity program (MSA), and an ongoing, robust advising program.

Additionally, there are student interest groups, a strong rural track program, and a number of diverse electives ranging from providing clinical service to homeless patients in the Stout Street Clinic to a "Create Your Own" Family Medicine elective.

Mentored Scholarly Activity

Works-In-Progress

Each summer, our medical students apply for a DFM Summer Program to support their work on their Mentored Scholarly Activity (MSA) projects. Take a look at their Works-In-Progress presentations, on projects ranging from opioid use disorder, mental health, healthcare business models, infant mortality, data governance, and more.
