The University of Colorado Hospital
 
The University of Colorado Hospital is a new 400+; bed tertiary-care hospital on the Anschutz Medical Campus. It became fully operational in June 2007. The new medical campus is home to the Anschutz Outpatient Pavillion, the Anschutz Cancer Center, The Rocky Mountain Eye Institute and the University of Colorado Medical School. The hospital and clinics serve both the local community and referrals from throughout the Rocky Mountain region. As a result, they refer patients with diverse and often advanced types of pathology to the Radiology Department.
The new Radiology Department is state-of-the-art and has four 16-64 multidetector CT scanners, two 1.5 Tesla MRI scanners, one 3 Tesla MRI scanner, digital mammography, four interventional radiology suites and several multipurpose rooms. There is an additional 3 Tesla MRI scanner for research located on the Anschutz campus. The faculty of the Radiology Department is comprised of fellowship trained experts in all the radiological subspecialties. The combination of the diverse and advanced pathology of the patient population and the expertise of the faculty provide an ideal learning atmosphere for the radiology residents. Slightly more than half of the residents' experience is in this academic environment.
A large portion of the residency program educational activities takes place at the Anschutz campus. The core curriculum lecture series are usually presented on this campus. In addition, our Proven Case Conference, a conference where a resident and attending radiologist are shown a pathologically proven case together, is held every week. The campus also hosts daily noon conferences which are usually "hot-seat" conferences. Residents may also participate in numerous tumor board meetings and other subspecialty multidisciplinary conferences.

Denver Health Medical Center is a 500 bed Level 1 Trauma Center and safety net hospital for the City and County of Denver. It is a primary teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Colorado, Denver School of Medicine. All Denver Health attending physicians hold University of Colorado faculty appointments. Radiology residents in the University of Colorado Program rotate through services at Denver Health throughout their training, spending a total of approximately one year there. DH faculty place a strong emphasis on resident education, which is their primary academic focus.
Residents at DH learn a great deal about all imaging manifestations of trauma. They see relatively advanced manifestations of many diseases in patients from medically underserved populations. They also see a broad spectrum of imaging pathology as they rotate through 8 imaging services (some services are combined for educational reasons, with approximately 50% of the experience in each): Neuroradiology, Body CT (Thoracic, Abdomen/Pelvic, and Musculoskeletal), Fluoroscopy/MRI, Ultrasound/Pediatric Radiology, Breast Imaging/Nuclear Medicine, Interventional Radiology, Emergency Radiology (afternoon OD), Emergency Radiology (night float).
