Pediatric Residency Program

Who We Are

Our residents are our program’s greatest strength. While they come from incredibly diverse backgrounds personally, academically, and geographically, they also share many characteristics. Friendly and social as a whole, residents are deeply committed to patient care and hold themselves and each other to the highest standards. Each class shares a strong sense of camaraderie and trust that develops quickly from common experience.

The residency, which expanded to 28 residents per year with the move in 2007 to our new campus, is led by our Program Director and two Associate Program Directors, who are dedicated resident advocates. Three Chief Residents organize resident education and provide the bridge between residents and faculty. Flexibility is a key characteristic of the program, and many avenues exist through which each resident voice is heard in shaping our training.

While the balance of post-residency pursuits is tipped toward subspecialty training, many graduates do pursue primary pediatrics and are in high demand both in Colorado and around the country.
