Welcome from the Chair

Vineet Chopra

It is a great privilege for me to serve as the 6th Chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, the largest clinical department in the School of Medicine. Since its establishment in 1883, our Department has been an innovative leader in the advancement of patient care, education and research. 

With more than 1,100 faculty, 188 residents and 139 fellows distributed in 16 divisions, our clinical, research and academic programs attract the best providers, investigators, staff and students from around the world who are transforming the future of health care. In our last fiscal year, the Department of Medicine:

  • Conducted 255,235 outpatient visits and was responsible for 17,807 hospital discharges (49% of all admissions to UCH)
  • Competed and obtained funding for $114 million in research support
  • Published 2,555 peer-reviewed research publications 
  • Graduated 58 medical residents and 72 fellows 

In addition to our exemplary performance, we continue to have strong standings in national rankings in all of our academic missions. As Chair, I remain committed to evolving the Department and meeting the ever-changing needs of healthcare and our patients. I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our many programs, offerings, centers of excellence and innovations. 

Vineet Chopra, MD, MSc
