Advanced Practice Fellowships
The University of Colorado Anchutz School of Medicine, in partnership with University of Colorado Hospital, offers fully benefited Advanced Practice Provider fellowships for newly graduated, early career, and experienced APPs entering a new area of practice. These programs combine immersive clinical training, focused didactic education, and dedicated mentorship within a leading academic medical center. Fellows work alongside experienced clinicians and faculty, gaining the clinical judgment, skills, and confidence needed to care for patients in complex practice environments.
Our fellowships are intentionally aligned with the missions of the School of Medicine and University of Colorado Hospital, advancing clinical excellence, education, and long term workforce development. Graduates are well prepared for independent practice, and the majority remain within our academic and clinical community, reflecting the strength and sustainability of these programs. Upon completion, fellows graduate as capable, confident clinicians who contribute meaningfully to their teams and to the patients and communities they serve.
