Zack Brown, MD

Residency:  Sky Ridge Traditional Rotating Internship and Sky Ridge Internal Medicine Residency

Medical School: Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine, Colorado 

Why did you choose to do a fellowship at the University of Colorado?: I am originally from New York but moved to Colorado in 2012 to complete my medical school and all of my training. After my training, I have continued to work in Colorado, and my wife and I now call this home. As such, I have developed an intense commitment and feeling of duty to bring the best health care possible to the people of Colorado. In my experiences, I have seen the trends in addiction, and unique healthcare and socioeconomic challenges facing Coloradans. So, when applying for fellowship, I chose University of Colorado, because my plan is to remain in Colorado after fellowship. I will be able to spend the year not only training with some of the best providers in addiction medicine, but also networking, learning how to utilize resources and systems already in place in Colorado, and learning what gaps may need to be filled once I am practicing after training. 

Tidbit About Yourself: Prior to my career in medicine, and during the first few years of medical school, I was a professional drummer. In my spare time I enjoy working around my land, playing with my dogs, hunting, snowboarding, and scuba diving. Most of my international travel these days is to scuba dive, and it’s one of my great joys. I also routinely practice mindfulness meditation, which works remarkably well while scuba diving!

Aaron Szpytman, MD

Residency: Emergency Medicine, Detroit Medical Center Sinai Grace

Medical School: Wayne State University

Why did you choose to do a fellowship at the University of Colorado?: The University of Colorado offers a program that is rooted in advocacy, destigmatization and quality patient care which are all things I was looking for in fellowship training. Through my Emergency Medicine training I realized how important it is to understand outpatient treatment of substance use disorders in order for me to initiate treatment and meet the needs of my patients in the ER. I want to become an expert in the Addiction Medicine space. When I interviewed, I met team who was sincerely interested in me and these goals

Tidbit About Yourself: I’m from Michigan and I can’t wait to be around the mountains and experience the outdoor activities Colorado has to offer. When I’m outside, I like to rock climb (hoping to do some outdoor bouldering in Denver), run, and play pick up soccer. Other things I’m interested in are bonsai tree cultivation (I’ll let you know how it’s going in 20 years), documenting my travels through video making, cooking and woodworking.
