A Message From the Program Director:

Welcome to the Rose Family Medicine ResidencySM! Our program has been training well-rounded specialists in family medicine for over 30 years. We take pride in equipping physicians with the tools they need to provide exemplary care in any environment. Our graduates have gone on to diverse locations (urban, suburban, rural and international) and settings (underserved, academic, and private practice) in Colorado and across the United States as they care for and contribute to the lives of not only their patients but also the communities they serve.

The residency is based at Rose Medical Center, a highly-respected community hospital in the heart of Denver. Rose Family Medicine ResidencyThe medical staff enjoys working with our residents and the hospital administration is extremely supportive of our program. Rose Medical Center helped build our new Family Medicine Center in 2007, located in a building adjacent to the hospital. The University of Colorado, which hosts a top academic department of family medicine, administers the program and resident benefits. The Colorado Health Foundation, a large non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health of the people of Colorado, also supports us as a part of their portfolio of clinical care and educational programs targeted towards underserved, culturally diverse populations in Denver.

Every day, I am amazed by the talents of the faculty and residents who give life to our program. Our enthusiastic faculty are nationally recognized for teaching and scholarship and share valued skills such Rose Family Medicine Residency Creed Cycleas operative obstetrics. In addition, we serve as an active teaching site for the University of Colorado Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship. Residents and faculty are also active in organized medicine at both the state and national levels. We are a diverse group committed to the life-long journey of being excellent family physicians.

Please explore our website and don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or comments. We look forward to an opportunity to meet and share our program with you.

Have a great day !
