The Children's Hospital
Founded in 1908, The Children's Hospital is the Rocky Mountain Region’s only hospital dedicated to the treatment of sick and injured children. Children’s admitted 9,941 patients in 2006 and treated another 343,328 patients in its outpatient clinics, located both on the hospital’s main campus and at various off-campus sites.
 Facilities include a PICU, NICU, burn unit, hematology/ oncology/ bone marrow transplant unit, a large rehabilitation unit, an inpatient adolescent unit and pediatric/ adolescent psychiatric units. In addition, the hospital operates the region's only Level 1 pediatric trauma center as well as major programs in neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, orthopedics, and other surgical subspecialties. Children's is also a leading center for cardiac transplantation and other solid organ transplantation.
Currently, the core inpatient and outpatient teaching program includes pediatric services, hematology/ oncology, intensive care and an emergency department pediatric rotation. The Hospital's Vestal Education Center, a state-of-the-art conference facility, offers numerous educational opportunities.
 The Children's Hospital has built a new hospital on the Fitzsimons campus, adjacent to the University of Colorado School of Medicine, University of Colorado Hospital and the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes. The medical campus adjoins a biotechnology park and hotel and conference facilities. We are very excited about our new home at The new Children's Hospital.
Denver Health Medical Center
Denver Health is an integrated health care system that includes Denver Health Medical Center, an acute-care hospital with 500 licensed beds. Denver Health Medical Center has a 20-bed general pediatric ward, an eight-bed PICU, and Level I, II, and III nurseries. The Rocky Mountain Regional Trauma Center, Colorado's top-level trauma center for children and adults, is located at Denver Health Medical Center. It operates a pediatric urgent care clinic as well as a specialty care ambulatory clinic for children. Residents participate in all of these areas during their residency.
A network of 12 family health centers offers comprehensive primary care for children, adolescents and adults. Resident continuity clinics offer valuable experience at these sites in Denver's medically underserved neighborhoods.
Denver Health operates the Denver Public Health Department, the Rocky Mountain Poison Center, and numerous school-based health centers. This public system serves families who live in the City and County of Denver, regardless of their economic status.
The faculty at Denver Health Medical Center are full-time faculty in the Department of Pediatrics and are renowned for their clinical and teaching expertise. Our new pediatric facility was built in 2006.
University of Colorado Hospital
 The Anschutz Inpatient Pavilion of the UCH opened June of 2007 with a brand new 40-bed NICU and a well-baby nursery, located on the Anschutz Medical Campus across the street from The Children’s Hospital.
At the University of Colorado Hospital, pediatric residents are responsible for staffing the NICU as well as the well-baby nursery. Here, residents attend many high-risk deliveries, then intimately participate in the care of the neonate.
National Jewish Medical and Research Center
Although most of the training takes place at The Children's Hospital, Denver Health Medical Center, and University of Colorado Hospital, important ambulatory teaching rotations occur at National Jewish Medical and Research Center (NJC). The Center enjoys national acclaim for its treatment programs for asthma, chronic respiratory disease, and immunologic disorders. National Jewish has been ranked the #1 Respiratory Hospital in America for eight consecutive years by U.S. News and World Report.
The pediatric faculty at NJC provide patient care and teaching at Children's and Denver Health, as well as at NJC. They also participate in the Department's teaching programs in a way that provides insight into the scientific approach to medicine. Residents can rotate there during elective months.
