Education & Engagement

The CU Anschutz Combat Medicine Research Center believes that developing the next generation of medical researchers is essential to improving care for combat casualties as the operational landscape evolves and translating these advances to civilian care.

The center’s educational core fosters mentorship, education, collaboration, and community engagement through the COMBAT Research Scholar and COMBAT Fellow programs, educational and research partnerships with national agencies and institutions, and seminars featuring world-renowned thought leaders. Through these efforts, the center works to engage and educate the broader community on military medical needs and innovations, while exploring how these advances can improve care in civilian settings, including community hospitals.

The center is committed to advancing implementation and dissemination science, collaborating with medical education faculty to identify effective ways to train providers and sustain critical skills, and partnering with CU experts in program evaluation. Together, these efforts support the development of future scientific leaders and help ensure that research and innovation translate into meaningful improvements in patient care.
