Exempla Saint Joseph Hospital has been training physicians for more than 115 years when in 1892 the Hospital's medical staff voted to make provisions for a resident physician. After its inception, the program grew steadily and in 1914 was among the first in the nation to be approved by the American Medical Association.
Over the years, the Residency Programs have earned a reputation for excellence that is exemplified in various ways. Our Residents have historically been some of the best entering the discipline, recruited from all over our country. We continue to do very well in the match. The residents have been and continue to be our programs' strongest attribute. The faculty is diverse in experience and interest. We have experience in rural and urban practice, National Institute of Health bench research, and large practice-based methods of contributing to the medical literature, public health service and competitive private practice. Local employers covet our graduates. We enjoy full accreditation from the American Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and have been commended by that body for our work.
Exempla Saint Joseph Hospital continues to be the largest private teaching hospital in Denver, and we are committed to serving its patients with high quality care. The hospital staff provides a tradition of caring that includes compassionate caregivers, stellar clinical expertise and the most advanced technology available. Today, more than 100 residents are in training in our four accredited programs: Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics/Gynecology, and Surgery.
Our faculty and residents share the belief that the best physician is a well-rounded one. We balance the high standards of academic rigor with respect for life outside of medicine. The community we have built among our attending physicians, residents and staff makes our programs incredibly supportive. We work hard together and we play hard together. Come see for yourself and imagine the contributions you can make as a graduate of one of our programs.
