Conferences Denver Health has weekly conferences in conjunction with the University track, addressing problems frequently seen in family practice. An 18 month schedule covers core topics, which are primarily ambulatory and taught by family physicians. Daily ambulatory conferences occur prior to resident continuity clinics and are frequently led by residents.
Residents also have the opportunity to attend conferences when assigned to specialty rotations.
All residents are to pursue an academic interest during their three years in the residency. This may be a special project such as setting up a community outreach program, drafting patient education materials, or implementing a continuing education program. Faculty are eager to assist residents with these pursuits and incorporate them in to ongoing projects in the division. Residents will also have the opportunity to participate in projects through the practice based research network run by the department.
