The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Colorado consists of committed academic and clinical faculty representing orthopaedic subspecialties in trauma, adult reconstruction, hand, foot and ankle, tumor, pediatrics, spine, and sports medicine. Accredited by the Council for Continuing Medical Education, the Department is committed to orthopaedic surgical residency training with approved training in general orthopaedics as well as fellowships in sports medicine, joint reconstruction, and pediatrics.
Twenty orthopaedic surgery residents rotate annually through University Hospital (UH), the Children’s Hospital (TCH), Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC), Denver Health Medical Center (DHMC), and the Anschutz Centers for Advanced Medicine, including the Anschutz Inpatient and Outpatient Pavilions (AIP and AOP). In addition to surgical training, the Department also emphasizes academic and research opportunities. It is the goal of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery to provide excellence in surgical training, academic learning, and research investigation that will prepare a resident for general practice, advanced fellowship training, or academic education and research.
