• Being one of the premier primary care residency training programs in the country with a focus on care of vulnerable populations
• Providing flexibility in our primary care curriculum to prepare program graduates for careers in clinical practice, academic general internal medicine, and/or to puruse training in primary care specialties such as geriatrics, palliative care, and public health/GIM

Our program integrates the educational resources of the University of Colorado Hospital, the Denver Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the Denver Health and Hospital Authority.

In fact, Denver Health is the 14th  most socially responsible hospital in the nation according to a September 2021 Lown Institute ranking. The non partisan health care think tank ranked 3,010 hospitals across the country based on 54 metrics in 3 main categories: equity, value and outcomes. Denver Health scored an 'A' grade in all three of those areas, with high scores in subcategories including community benefit, inclusivity, clinical outcomes and avoiding overuse.

We are very proud of the many elements that set our program apart from others, and we are confident that you will receive outstanding primary care training as a resident at CU with a clinical home in Denver Health's nationally recognized safety net health system. Please explore features of our program which truly make the Primary Care Track of the University of Colorado at Denver Health a foundational, innovative training experience with a strong commitment to community.

We have a commitment to innovation and care of the underserved - both integral to maintaining high quality primary care education. Our emphasis on continual improvement reflects that fact that medicine is an exciting and ever changing profession.

Sincerely,
