Location
The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus is a state-of-the-art medical and research campus located in Aurora, CO. Nearby Denver is a great place to begin your career and to enjoy arts and culture as well as the great outdoors!
Our residency is an ACGME-accredited two-year program at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Residents in this program complete all requirements for board eligibility through the American Board of Preventive Medicine, earn a Master of Public Health degree with a concentration in Environmental & Occupational Health, and develop skills in a wide variety of settings, from medical facilities to industry sites. Residents are financially supported through the Mountain & Plains Education and Research Center (MAP ERC) at the Center for Health, Work & Environment, Denver Health and Hospital Authority, Pinnacol Assurance, Workwell Occupational Medicine, and National Jewish Health.
Residents must complete a scholarly project as part of their training and have the opportunity to participate in other educational experiences such as monthly journal clubs, weekly case conferences, MAP ERC Research Day, presentations at the Rocky Mountain Academy of Occupational & Environmental Medicine, as well as other regional and national conferences. Additional opportunities include an international worker health program in Guatemala and a field experience at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.
As part of the MAP ERC—one of 18 National Institute of Occupational Health and Safety (NIOSH) Education and Research Centers in the country—residents collaborate with graduate students in industrial hygiene, ergonomics, occupational health
psychology, and health physics on interdisciplinary research, scholarly projects, and in-depth field assessments at local industrial sites.
Residents complete at least one scholarly project and present at regional and national conferences. Examples of past projects include:
In addition to required clinical rotations, residents may complete specialty rotations in orthopedics, ophthalmology, toxicology, physiatry, or psychology. Residents may also complete policy and law rotations.
Clinical rotations
Our mission is to recruit and train the highest quality residents and prepare them for careers in occupational and environmental medicine (OEM). We serve those with occupational and environmental injuries and illnesses from the Denver-metro area, the state of Colorado, and the intermountain west. We are driven by injury and illness prevention, worksite wellness, and workplace health promotion and protection using Total Worker Health® principles.
Unique rotations
Residents can rotate at OSHA and NIOSH field offices. And National Jewish Health—a preeminent pulmonary medicine hospital—is one of our core teaching sites. We also offer clinical research and practice opportunities at miner’s clinics
and surveillance clinics for legacy energy and defense workers.
Our alumni fill every niche in occupational and environmental medicine. In the past 10 years, our graduates have joined or started private practices, worked in hospital-based clinics or related networks of care, crafted policy at the local, state, and national level, done academic advisory work for medical universities, worked in corporate occupational medicine, returned to active military service, and performed large-scale, grant-funded research projects.
