Clinical Science Graduate Program (CLSC)

The goal of this program is to train nationally competitive clinician/clinical translational scientists by providing a formal and structured educational program in the clinical and translational sciences including formal mentoring with interdisciplinary faculty. Graduates are trained to conduct rigorous, credible and relevant patient-based research within stringent ethical and regulatory guidelines, and translate the evidence for community application.

The Clinical Science Program is committed to diversity, inclusion, equity and  accessibility . Diversity and equity drive excellence in clinical and translational research and how that evidence is applied. We are dedicated to working with trainees, faculty, and staff from diverse backgrounds to continuously foster a culture of inclusivity.

In our program, training occurs across many disciplines to achieve proficiency in the areas of clinical science, clinical investigation and translation, including:

• biostatistics
• clinical epidemiology
• clinical studies design
• grant writing

Inclusive Learning Environment

We work together to develop a learning community that is inclusive and respectful. Our diversity may be reflected by differences in race, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, religion/spirituality, ability, socioeconomic background, and myriad other social identities and life experiences. In a diverse community, the goal of inclusiveness encourages and appreciates expressions of different ideas, opinions, and beliefs so that conversations and interactions are opportunities for intellectual and personal enrichment. A dedication to inclusiveness requires respecting what others say, their right to say it, and the thoughtful consideration of others' communication. Both speaking up and listening are valuable tools for furthering thoughtful and enlightening dialogue.  Respecting one another's individual differences is critical in transforming a collection of diverse individuals into an inclusive and collaborative learning community.  We will hold ourselves and one another accountable, which includes bringing attention to times when microaggressions or macroaggressions happen in a classroom. Our core commitment shapes our core expectations for behavior inside and outside of the classroom.   Incidents involving microaggressions in the classroom may be reported to the appropriate university Title IX office listed below. Please refer to the CU Anschutz campus Office of Equity website for a self-learning guide about microaggressions .

CU Anschutz Campus: On the CU Anschutz campus, please contact the Office of Equity . The Office of Equity staff, including the University's Title IX Coordinator, may be reached at (303) 315-2567 or [email protected] .

Maps show states where weed is legal for recreational, medical use in 2024

By Kerry Breen

April 20, 2024 / 7:59 AM EDT / CBS News

Since medical cannabis was first legalized in Colorado in 1996, nearly half the country has legalized marijuana for recreational use. Even more states have decriminalized weed or allowed marijuana to be used for medical purposes. 

These maps show which states have legalized recreational or medical marijuana or decriminalized weed as of 2024. 

Map of states where recreational weed is legal in 2024

As of April 2024, recreational marijuana is legal in 24 states, or nearly half the country, according to the Pew Research Center . 

The states where recreational weed is legal are Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois , Maine , Maryland , Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington. It is also legal in Washington, D.C.

Recreational use, where legal, is limited to adults 21 years of age and older.

Map of states where medical weed is legal in 2024

Medicinal marijuana is legal in 13 states. It is also legal in all the states where recreational use of weed is permitted.

In Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Hampshire and North Dakota, marijuana is allowed for medical use. It's also decriminalized for other uses, which means that the substance is still illegal but a person would not be prosecuted for possessing under a certain amount of weed. Penalties for having marijuana in states where it is decriminalized include civil fines or drug treatment. 

In Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah and West Virginia, marijuana is allowed for medical use. It's not decriminalized for other uses, though, and people can still be prosecuted for having non-medical marijuana.

Where is weed illegal in 2024? 

In Nebraska and North Carolina, marijuana is illegal but decriminalized. That means that in these two states, a person will face penalties but not prosecution for certain amounts of weed. 

In Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin, weed is illegal and not decriminalized, but CBD products are allowed. 

In Idaho, Kansas, South Carolina and Wyoming, marijuana and all cannabis products are illegal, and weed is not decriminalized. 

What other countries have legalized weed?

Marijuana is legal in several countries, including Canada, Germany, Mexico, South Africa and Thailand. 

• Decriminalize marijuana
• Medical Marijuana
• Recreational Marijuana

Colorado Hospital Patient Holds on to $15 Million Damages Award

By Mary Anne Pazanowski

A Colorado man demonstrated good cause for lifting the state’s $1 million cap on medical malpractice damages in a lawsuit stemming from back surgery where doctors severed his iliac vein, the state’s top court said.

Daniel Scholle spent 100 days in Sky Ridge Medical Center’s intensive care unit being treated for “catastrophic” injuries caused by the error, including cardiac arrest, severe bleeding, surgical site infection, kidney damage, respiratory distress, stroke, and the amputation of his toes, a split Colorado Supreme Court said Monday.

Under these circumstances, it would be unfair to reduce the jury’s award to the statutory limit, the ...

Remarks as Prepared for Delivery by First Lady Jill   Biden at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical   Campus

Aurora, Colorado

Thank you, Lieutenant Governor Primavera. You’re a fighter and a true champion for the people of Colorado. Dianne, you took my breath away last night – it was cold and late, very late, and you were out at the airport to welcome me to Colorado – your service knows no bounds. Thank you.

Today marks 25 years since 12 students and a teacher were killed in the shooting at Columbine. And, in this community, almost 12 years ago, that same pain ripped through Aurora.

This has to stop. Enough funerals. Enough death.

President Biden knows that. And that’s why he’s doing everything he can to protect our communities. But he can’t do it alone. Congress must act to end this senseless gun violence. 

Please join me in a moment of silence.

Mayor Coffman, thank you for helping us make women’s health research a priority for the women of Aurora. You have dedicated yourself to common-sense solutions for the people of Colorado, and the President and I applaud your leadership.

President Saliman – the University of Colorado is making a tremendous difference. We are at an incredible inflection point, ready to make significant advances in this women-focused research and your leadership will help lead the way.

Thank you all for joining us today, for giving me part of your precious weekend.

If you ask any woman in America about her healthcare, she probably has a story to tell. You know her. You may even be her.

She’s the woman who gets debilitating migraines, but doesn’t know why, and can’t find treatment options that work for her.

She’s the woman going through menopause, who visits her doctor and leaves with more questions than answers, even though half the country will go through menopause at some point in their lives.

She’s the woman whose heart attack isn’t recognized because her symptoms don’t look like a man’s, even as heart disease is the leading cause of death among women.

This is why we are here today.

Too many of our medications, treatments, and medical school textbooks are based on men and their bodies. And that’s because research on women’s health has always been underfunded and understudied.

Even though we’ve made great strides in the last 20 years, women are still seeking health care in a medical world largely designed for men. 

In November, President Biden changed that. He launched the White House Initiative on Women’s Health Research to fundamentally transform how our country approaches and funds women’s health research.

Joe called on Congress to invest $12 billion into women’s health research at this year’s State of the Union.

And we’re pushing forward innovation that could be life-changing for women. We’re making sure that when the government funds research, that work includes women from the beginning. And when we make discoveries, those ideas get to the women and families waiting for answers.

That’s the power of research: to investigate and innovate, to help and heal, to build a better health care system. 

Somewhere in this room may be the idea that will cure cancer, cure heart disease, cure Alzheimer’s.

Heart health, brain health, chronic diseases – you might just have the answers if only we dissolve the barriers standing in your way.

Through the White House Women’s Health Research Initiative, we begin to do just that.

We will write new stories about women’s health care. Ones where women leave doctors’ offices with more answers than questions. Where no woman or girl has to hear that, “it’s all in your head,” or, “it’s just stress” ever again.

Where women don’t just survive, they lead long, healthy, and happy lives.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. ( WAFF /Gray News) - A child is dead after suffering a medical episode while at school in Alabama on Tuesday.

According to Liberty Middle School officials, a seventh-grade student has died after experiencing a medical emergency on campus.

The school identified the student as Morgan Williams.

School officials said Williams suffered a medical episode during a physical education class.

According to Huntsville Emergency Medical Services, first responders were called to a football field at the school before 3 p.m.

“This loss has and will raise many emotions, concerns, and questions for our entire school, especially our students,” Brown said.

Counselors were made available to students who may need any assistance, the principal said.

“We are saddened by this loss to our school community and will make every effort to help you and your child as needed. Please keep the Williams family in your thoughts,” Brown shared in a message to parents.

No further information was immediately released.
