Chair's Welcome

Vineet Chopra

Welcome to the Department of Medicine and the Internal Medicine Residency Program at the University of Colorado. As a trainee in internal medicine, you will join one of the largest departments on campus consisting of 1,100 faculty across 16 divisions. The Department of Medicine at the University of Colorado consistently attracts some of the best clinicians, researchers, educators and learners from around the world.  We are proud to provide a fertile training ground where you will grow your clinical, education, advocacy, and research skills to improve the care of patients and the health of our community.

We recognize that for a physician to become truly pluripotent, exposure to different clinical settings and patient care models is key. University of Colorado trainees benefit from our academic affiliation with a large quaternary referral center- the University of Colorado Hospital; metro Denver’s true safety net hospital – Denver Health; and one of the largest VA hospitals in the country - the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center. Because of this breadth, residents receive extraordinary training in all facets of medicine and are highly sought after by fellowship programs and employers following the completion of their training. 

The Department is proud of its rich tradition of excellence in research, clinical care and, especially proud of our longstanding commitment to medical education. As Chair, I am committed to providing housestaff with a vibrant environment and a responsive program that rises to meet the ever-changing landscape of medical education. As a trainee in our program, you will have enriched experiences in general internal medicine as well as hospitalist, primary care and critical care education. You will be provided ample opportunities to explore career pathways in health equity/disparity, basic and translational research, and global health. Your experience and growth here will be second to none!
