Program highlights
- Ask about the schedule: months alternate between inpatient/ICU and subspecialty or ambulatory blocks, and PGY-2/3 residents pick their layout through a lottery; say how you would use that autonomy.
- Research is described as a major strength: ask how the dedicated research director and HCA multi-hospital databases support a resident project from idea to presentation.
- Full-day weekly longitudinal clinic (none during inpatient-focused blocks): ask about panel building and continuity if you are interested in primary care.
- Intern ICU boot camp, intern launch program and procedure curriculum: ask how they prepare interns for early ICU responsibility.
- Resident committees (recruitment, research, education, fellowship, wellbeing) and an annual fall retreat: highlight interest in leadership, since the mission is to develop physician leaders.
- Yearly wilderness didactics and Doctor's Dilemma participation: good topics to show fit with the Colorado setting and the ACP community.
