Addiction Medicine Fellowship
Advanced training in addiction prevention, evaluation, and treatment.
The University of Colorado Addiction Medicine Fellowship (ACGME Program Number: 4040740001) is a one-year multidisciplinary program providing training in the treatment of patients with substance use disorders.
We offer two training tracks:
- Denver-Based Addiction Medicine Track - NRMP #1076404F0
- Rural Addiction Medicine Track - NRMP #1076404F1
Applications for the 2026-27 academic year will be accepted via ERAS beginning July 1, 2026 and all interviews will be conducted virtually in the fall of 2026. Specific dates TBD. We participate in the NRMP match process, with an anticipated match date of December 2, 2026.
The University of Colorado and the Department of Family Medicine (DFM) are dedicated to enriching the educational experience on our campuses and beyond and improving care for patients by cultivating a climate.
The Addiction Medicine Fellowship program will provide Colorado, the nation, and the world with leaders of excellence in:
Education - through the provision of addiction medicine educational programs to medical students, allied health students, graduate students and house staff, practicing health professionals, and the public at large.
Research - through the development of new knowledge in the basic and clinical sciences, as well as in health policy and health care education.
Patient Care - through state-of-the-art clinical programs which reflect the unique educational environment of the University, as well as the needs of the patients it serves.
Community Service - through sharing the University's expertise and knowledge to enhance the broader community, including our affiliated institutions, other health care professionals, alumni and other colleagues, and citizens of the state.
The University of Colorado's Department of Family Medicine’s Addiction Medicine Fellowship holds as a core principle the advancement of health outcomes of all, bridging that gap when we fall short, and fostering a work environment that promotes belonging.
We believe we grow richer as a department by making sure we have a diverse and inclusive environment—treating every human with respect. This allows us to expand our consciousness by learning from each other, encouraging new knowledge and beliefs, and expanding our point of view. We are committed to attracting and training individuals whose varied backgrounds empower them to provide the best health care for their patients and communities.
As of 2025, the Addiction Medicine Fellowship consists of two distinct tracks: the Denver-based track and the new Rural track.
Curriculum
The core curriculum includes clinical rotations in a longitudinal continuity clinic, a residential treatment program, an outpatient treatment program, medication assisted treatment programs, adolescent treatment programs, and an addiction medicine consultation-liaison service.
