The Department of Anesthesiology aspires to leverage the transformative power of access and community through comprehensive, systematic, and sustainable programs including mentorship, faculty and trainee recruitment, research, and community engagement for the advancement of excellence in healthcare, medical education, health outcomes, and professional development of community members.
21 residents are accepted into the clinical anesthesia training program each year. The 12 categorical positions are part of an integrated internship and include tracks in Combined Anesthesiology & Critical Care Medicine and Research. There are nine advanced or R2 positions. You must apply to intern year programs through their separate ERAS programs.
We are excited to continue a Joint A/P program in Internal Medicine (3 spots) or General Surgery (4 spots) with St. Joseph Hospital – Intermountain Healthcare that allows for up to seven preferred intern positions. These positions are reserved for people who match with our program. Residents will spend the PGY1 year at Saint Joseph Hospital and then begin clinical anesthesia training at the University of Colorado in July of the PGY2 year. The Joint A/P partnership allows interns the benefit of staying in the Denver Metro area all four years of residency.
On average, our program receives greater than 1,600 applications per year, and we extend interview invitations to approximately 160 competitive applicants.
