Learn about the history of CU School of Medicine on the Anschutz Medical Campus. A Top Ten Medical School in Research, Primary Care and Diabetes, we work with the University of Colorado Hospital, The Children's Hospital and Barbara Davis Center

In 2007, the Colorado Legislature allocated $300,000 to fund a feasibility study of expanding the School of Medicine to a branch campus on the Western Slope. The study determined that $3 million to $4 million in ongoing annual state support would be required to open the campus. Progress has been stymied by a lack of state funds.

An outcome of the feasibility study was the initiation of three rotations in Grand Junction:

• Emergency Care at St. Mary’s Hospital
• Psychiatric Care at VA Medical Center
• Hospitalized Adult Care at St. Mary’s Hospital

These rotations take students on a regular basis and are highly evaluated by the students.
