We are excited to announce our recent launch of our Med-Peds Consult Service starting! The overarching goal of the service is to improve the care of the adolescent and young adult population hospitalized at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital (UCH) and Children’s Hospital Colorado (CHCO).
Our Med-Peds consult service kicked off at the beginning of 2023 and is staffed by Med-Peds-trained physicians. These providers have completed a residency training program that combines internal medicine and pediatrics, and so are ideally equipped to care for the adolescent and complex young adult population. Our goal through this service is to care for patients that are under the age of 18 and complex young adult patients with chronic conditions of childhood that are admitted to UCH frequently.
