The Department of Emergency Medicine at Denver Health is recruiting energetic and talented emergency physician to join our staff as a full-time academic emergency physician to advance and grow the academic mission of our Department with respect to our clinical, research, education, and social emergency medicine missions. Preference will be given to faculty who have a dedicated interest, and track record of accomplishment, and/or advanced training. Faculty are expected to be highly motivated and engaged academicians, robustly contributing to and aligned with our departmental mission of ‘Serving Our Patients and Leading Our Specialty.’ As such, our recruitment will place a strong emphasis on teamwork and collaboration.

The emergency department (ED) at Denver Health includes a 44-bed adult ED with an additional 19-bed pediatric ED and urgent care, a 13-bed fast track area, and an adjacent 23-bed clinical decision unit. With a combined annual census of more than 100,000 patients, the ED at Denver Health is the second busiest in Colorado and home to the Ernest E. Moore Shock Trauma Center at Denver Health, the primary trauma referral center for the Rocky Mountain Region. Additionally, the acuity managed by the adult ED is high, with a 25% admission rate. Staffing in the adult and pediatric EDs is provided by board-certified emergency physicians, PGY 1- 4 residents, emergency medicine subspecialty fellows, and advanced practice providers. Strong and extremely collaborative relationships exist among physicians, advanced practice providers, nursing, and consultative services.

Denver Health is nationally recognized for being an integrated safety-net system, including an acute-care hospital, a network of community health centers, a city and county public health department, and a regional poison center. As a department and institution, we are profoundly committed to diversity of thought and our workforce. Faculty must be passionate about serving our diverse patient population and providing them with the best care. To achieve this, we dedicate significant resources as a team to incorporate cultural responsiveness, equity, and inclusion into every aspect of our work.

As a major academic affiliate of the University of Colorado School of Medicine and sponsoring institution for the Denver Health Residency in Emergency Medicine, all faculty contribute to our missions of patient care, educational, research, and professional development. Faculty hold appointments in the School of Medicine and ultimately report to the Director of Service for the Department of Emergency Medicine at Denver Health.

The ideal candidate will be committed to serving our patient population and have a passion for innovation and scholarship. Fellowship and an academic track record are strongly preferred. Board eligibility or certification in emergency medicine is required.

This position is available immediately. Applications will be considered in a rolling fashion until the positions are filled.

Please apply by submitting your CV with a cover letter indicating your interest and highlighting your intended contributions to our efforts to diversify our thoughts and workforce. Submissions can be sent to:
