CU Medicine today

CU's World View

An agreement with a university in China and a new clinic in Guatemala are two of many CU opportunities to study and teach abroad.

Marijuana Q&a

Christian Thurstone, MD, an expert in youth addictions, is shaping marijuana laws after state voters legalized the drug last year.

Daredevil Doctor

Now a CU surgeon, Omer Mei-Dan once worked as a freelance stuntman, repped for Red Bull and jumped off the Eiffel Tower.

What is the exercise "dose" needed to change the brain of Parkinson's patients? CU researchers are embarking on a three-year trial to find the answer. 

For 11 years, students have lobbied for a Donor Memorial Garden. Now it is under construction, with a completion date this spring.

The roles of CU doctor and state senator coalesce for Irene Aguilar, whose passion is advocating for universal health care. 

Timothy Vollmer, MD, calls this the "golden age of MS," and his patients would agree. New treatments at the Rocky Mountain MS Center are halting, and in some cases reversing, nerve damage.
