Sections
The strength of the Department of Pediatrics rests in part on the broad range of our subspecialty sections, related programs and our affiliates – Children's Hospital Colorado , the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes and Denver Health.
Twenty-two pediatric sections and a diversity of specialized programs span the range from basic research to world-class clinical care. And because many of our faculty are both clinical practitioners and researchers, delivery of care regularly takes the latest medical advances directly into practice.
