History

Established in 1974, the Denver Health Residency in Emergency Medicine is one of the oldest in the country.

We are a four year training program offering training in the emergency departments at Denver Health Medical Center, the University of Colorado Hospital, the Children's Hospital of Colorado, and Highlands Ranch Hospital for a mix of county, academic, and community learning environments.

In 2003, Denver Health Medical Center’s Residency in Emergency Medicine became an EM1-4 program, creating an EM1 year that lays a solid foundation for the EM 2-4 years. This curriculum is intentionally built like a traditional internship and is designed to “line the toolbelt” of interns with the clinical experience and skills needed for the rest of residency.
