Pediatric Residency Program - Where We Work

We feel incredibly lucky to spend our years in residency working in beautiful, modern facilities dedicated to pediatrics. Our three main training sites together offer experience in the entire spectrum of the care of children.

You will care for and learn from the child with the most unusual, critical illness transported to Children's Hospital Colorado from several states away; you will also have the unique experience of being the senior pediatrician on call for the NICU, PICU, and ward patients at Denver Health as a third-year resident.

These experiences are complemented by a variety of outpatient facilities including a range of primary care clinics in Denver and throughout Colorado, as well as subspecialty clinics at Children’s Colorado.


Children's Hospital ColoradoFounded in 1908, Children's Hospital Colorado is the Rocky Mountain Region’s only hospital dedicated to the treatment of sick and injured children. Our new hospital, which opened in September 2007, is an amazing blend of art and state-of-the-art, where every detail was developed with the best interest of the patients and their families in mind. The hospital features private rooms for all inpatients, technologically advanced intensive care, surgery, and radiology facilities, a large conference and education center, and amazing amenities including 24-hour dining facilities, all in a spacious and beautifully-designed building. In 2008, over 11,000 patients were admitted to Children’s Colorado, and another 400,000 were treated at outpatient clinics.  In 2012, Children’s Hospital Colorado will be opening a new tower that will house our Colorado Institute for Maternal and Fetal Health as well as expand a number of our specialty care services including the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, Heart Institute, Orthopedics Institute, Neurosciences Institute, Digestive Health Institute, Breathing Institute and Intensive Care, among others.    

Inside Children's ColoradoThe Children’s Colorado referral area, which includes eight states, ensures an incredibly rich educational experience for residents, who still retain primary responsibility for all patients. Experts in every pediatric medical and surgical specialty, along with fellows in those areas, are dedicated to resident education. An advanced electronic medical record system, designed with housestaff input, helps greatly in streamlining and improving patient care.

 

 

 

 

 


 


Denver Health Medical Center Denver Health is an integrated healthcare system in the public sector. We are an acute care hospital of 525 beds. Denver Health has one of the largest and oldest Community Health Services in the United States. Last year there were nearly 400,000 outpatient visits, including nearly 100,000 kids. We provide the medical home for 40% of the children in Denver County. Integrated care means children have one registration, one medical record, and one medical staff, whether an outpatient or inpatient basis.

Denver Health is also a Level I Trauma Center. The pre-hospital care through EMS is directed from the Emergency Department. We have a school to train Paramedics. We are the Denver School-Based Clinics, with 15 clinics operating in high risk schools. Through the Rocky Mountain Drug and Poison Center, toxicology consults and poison control services are provided throughout Colorado and several other states.

The Public Health Department provides services for disease control and prevention including Immunizations, Tuberculosis, STD and HIV clinics. Non-medical detox is provided at Denver Cares. There are inpatient adolescent and adult psychiatry units and a Psychiatry Emergency Room.

Denver Health is more than 150 years old; our community clinics were established 45 years ago.

In 2006, the hospital opened it’s new beautiful pavilion dedicated to the health of women and children.  This wing houses the Pediatrics Services which includes the general inpatient ward, Pediatric ICU, Newborn Nursery, and NICU.  The hospital also has a dedicated Pediatric Emergency Department. Our faculty are Generalists, who are dedicated to provide care for the underserved and who enjoy teaching in a community-based Pediatric program.

Denver Health provides an invaluable educational experience. We believe the combination of a modern tertiary Children’s Hospital and a Community Program is an excellent way to train Pediatricians.

 

 

 

Anschutz Inpatient PavilionThe Anschutz Inpatient Pavilion of the University of Colorado Hospital opened in June 2007 and includes a new, 40-bed NICU and a well baby nursery, now on the same campus as Children's Hospital Colorado. Pediatric residents have primary responsibility for all of these infants, attending many high-risk deliveries and providing care for all newborns, from the most routine care to the most critical care.
