Program Information
Staff/Faculty/Chairman: Staff: All very capable and enjoy teaching. University setting is more relaxed compared to the Denver Health experience. Faculty expects/demands more than most programs and that is why these residents are better trained upon completion.
Chairman: Extension next five years easy going laid back influential in the sports world.
Didactics/Teaching: Didactics: Every Thursday from 7-12 protected time. Lectures including trauma, pathology and rotating cirriculum. Usually combination of resident lead discussions with staff. Impressive that local Ortho MDs attend.
Operating Experience: Phenominal, as second years you are in the OR handling the bread and butter cases as the intern on day call fields the ER stuff. Operate as interns on Ortho at Childrens hospital. Upper levels comfortable at everything maybe need a little more dedicated sports time. VA expereince is untouchable with joint replacements etc.
Residents: Four residents per year, could possibly increase to 5 or 6 as there is that much volume in Denver. Awesome guys and girls who hang out together outside of hospital. Very team oriented and willing to help out.
Lifestyle: Denver, beautiful in the summer with hiking, biking, mtn climbing, fishing, red rocks, sports (Denver Nuggets, Colorado Rockies, Colorado Avalance, Denver Broncos). Night life is phenominal from dive bars to hip and trendy lounges.
Location/Housing: You will pay a pretty penny for a good location
Overall Rotation Experience/Conclusion: Excellent
Super competitive as many rotaters are not asked back for formal interviews.
Qualification
I rotated as a medical student at this program
Date of Rotation: Summer 2007
