University of Colorado Anschutz

Department: Medicine

Position #00843512 - Requisition #38543

Job Summary

The University of Colorado Division of Hospital Medicine's Advanced Practice Fellowship (APF) is a 13-month post-graduate fellowship program dedicated to enhancing the development of early-career Acute Care Nurse Practitioners (ACNPs) and Physician Assistants (PAs) or for those new to hospital-based medicine. Recognizing that ACNPs and PAs are increasingly utilized in inpatient care models, our program's mission is to provide the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for a provider to succeed in the challenging world of acute care medicine. Since it's a rigorous and lengthy fellowship, the best candidates are those who truly want to spend an additional 13 months in training as a learner.

All shifts/clinical rotations are solely located on University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus at the UCHealth Hospital. Each year we accept 2 separate cohorts of 5-6 fellows. Our cohort start dates are March 1st and September 1st. Your application will be accepted for a specific cohort and start date only, applying does NOT make you eligible for BOTH cohorts. Any changes of application or interview timelines will be reflected on the website.

Work Location: Onsite - this role is expected to work onsite and is located in Aurora, CO.

Why Join Us

Started in 2009, the APF is one of the oldest ACNP and PA inpatient training fellowships based on the successes the Division of Hospital Medicine (DHM) had in developing its Hospitalist Training Program for Internal Medicine Residents. The APF has graduated more than fifty fellows, who now hold positions in Hospital Medicine, Emergency Medicine, the Intensive Care Unit, the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit and in many other Divisions across the University Hospital and the region.

The program uses a multiphase approach to develop learners into well-rounded, competent inpatient providers. The DHM has built core clinical teams around fellows in order to provide opportunities for high-yield, bedside clinical instruction from talented Physician and APP faculty. Though it has a strong clinical core, the APF also utilizes frequent didactic sessions and case-based learning to enhance learner development. Fundamentals of education will include a comprehensive bootcamp orientation, weekly didactic education sessions, clinical skills sessions (reading ECGs, interpreting chest radiographs, acid-base problems, etc) and a range of rotational experiences, including general inpatient medicine, swing/nights, emergency medicine, medical-oncology, and consult medicine.
