Educational Activities

Our group believes in the value of continual education; both being taught and teaching. To that end, we actively participate in the teaching and training of college students as job shadows, medical/NP/PA students on their clinical rotations, residents as they rotate through our hospital, and teaching our colleagues through lectures, grand rounds, and conferences. Hospitalist attendings make up the bulk of the teaching services here, supervising senior residents, interns, and medical students in their care of acutely ill patients. We also play an important role in teaching pre-clinical students at the medical school through small groups and preceptorships. Our physicians have also been involved in numerous hospital medicine conferences as organizers and speakers at the regional and national level.

Research

Medicine is continually changing and adding to its body of knowledge, and we strive to contribute to that knowledge and understanding of the science and art of medicine. Our physicians have protected research time and are able to pursue diverse interests. Current research projects cover areas such as:

  • Nosocomial infections
  • Perceptions of palliative care
  • Safety and efficacy of consultative medicine
  • Eating disorder physiology
  • Short stay observation units
  • End stage liver disease and venous thromboembolic phenomenon
  • Acute encephalopathy in hospitalized patients

We also have a research projects coordinator, who provides invaluable assistance in research design, data analysis and biostatistics. We often collaborate with other physicians at Denver Health and within the University of Colorado system.
