Welcome to the University of Colorado School of Medicine on the Anschutz Medical Campus. We are a Top Ten Medical School in primary care, pediatrics, family medicine and rural medicine, and offer physical therapy and physician assistant programs.

Principles of the Program

Our faculty guide our students through a rigorous curriculum, combining coursework and laboratory research, that will transform them into independent scientists with the potential for successful careers in biomedical research.

Faculty participating in the CSD Program hail from eight diverse biomedical departments, yet are intellectually linked through our graduate program by their common research interests. Moreover, our 38 faculty members and their labs further align themselves with, but are not restricted to, one or more of the following six research sub-areas under the umbrella of our CSD Program.
