Denver, CO
The University of Colorado
Health Sciences Center has recently relocated to an expansive, state-of-the-art
facility on the Anschutz Medical Campus, now located in Aurora, Colorado, just
a few miles outside the Denver city limits.
Denver sits at the foot of
the Rocky Mountains. The region is widely acclaimed for its natural beauty, 300
days of sun, and year-round outdoor activities. Denver is a sunny place, where
people are treated to even more sunshine each year than Miami or San Diego.
These moderate temperatures, combined with very low levels of humidity make the
area's climate very comfortable. World famous ski resorts are within a one to
two hour drive of Denver. For those who prefer to escape to peace and solitude,
innumerable locations for cross-country skiing, hiking and biking are close by.
The dry climate results in comfortable outdoor conditions even in the warmth of
summer and the cold of winter. The preponderance of sunny days throughout the
year facilitates taking advantage of the outdoor activities.
The City of Denver, while not
large compared to many cities in this country, is the major city in the Rocky
Mountain area. Denver brews more beer than any other city with 80 different
beers brewed here. LoDo is Denver's hip downtown historic district where
restored Victorian buildings now house more than 90 sports bars, brew pubs,
jazz clubs and restaurants. Denver has a growing music scene and some of the
best concert venues on earth, including the famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre, a
9,000-seat arena carved out of gigantic red rock boulders.
 
For those interested in
spectator sports, successful major league baseball, football, basketball,
hockey, and soccer teams are very popular here. Organized amateur leagues for
children and adults in many sports are better established here than in many
cities. Accomplishments in the arts rival those of many larger cities. Broadway
hits and other theatrical performances routinely travel to Denver.
Because Denver is a major
airline hub, it is easy to travel to any other part of the country. More about
the city of Denver can be found at: www.denver.org
While offering many of the advantages of a large city as well as tremendous access to the outdoors, Denver
remains a relatively affordable city in which to live. The cost of living is
less than in many other cities in the country, especially those in the
northeast and on the west coast.
The University of Colorado
Health Sciences Center is recognized as a leading health care facility
nationwide. It consistently ranks in the top few public institutions in terms
of federal grants received and overall research expenditures. This setting
brings faculty and trainees of high caliber to all departments and results in
an academically stimulating environment. To access more information about the
