Join us for a complimentary evening of connection and community at the Member Mixer with the Mile High Medical Society. Hosted immediately following the Colorado Medical Society Board of Directors meeting this Friday, March 6, this event offers an opportunity to connect with peers, leaders and staff from the Mile High Medical Society and Colorado Medical Society.

We especially encourage medical students and residents to attend. Whether you’re interested in advocacy, leadership opportunities, or simply expanding your professional circle, this relaxed networking event is a great place to start.

The Northern Colorado Medical Society invites physicians and other providers of all specialties to attend a dynamic, half-day accredited CME conference that will deliver practical, hands-on clinical education applicable to physicians in primary care, internal medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN, emergency medicine, psychiatry, general surgery, orthopedics, and beyond.

While the program includes musculoskeletal and orthopedic-based learning, the content is intentionally structured to support real-world decision-making across disciplines—because physicians in every specialty evaluate injuries, manage pain, and determine when imaging or further testing is necessary.

Accreditation Statement: This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of Colorado Medical Society and Northern Colorado Medical Society. The Colorado Medical Society is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Live or practice in or near the mountains? Join colleagues from across the region for an evening of connection, conversation and momentum as we reboot the Mt. Sopris Chapter of the Colorado Medical Society. All members of District II (Mt. Sopris + additional rural chapters of CMS) are invited. Whether you’re a longtime member, newly practicing in the area, or simply curious about what CMS can do for you, this is your opportunity to help shape the future of physician advocacy and community in Western Colorado.

This conference is designed to empower women with valuable health education and resources. The event will feature engaging and knowledgeable speakers, meaningful discussions on women’s health topics, breakfast and lunch provided for attendees, 3.25 AOA Category 1-A CME credits for local medical providers (MD/DO) and gift giveaways for all participants. 

An OMS II at RVUCOM in Parker is conducting a survey research project regarding sexual assault training and knowledge among physicians in Colorado. You're invited to complete the 10-minute survey.

Physicians are called to medicine to be their patients’ strongest ally, providing the expertise and information patients need to make informed decisions.

Their years of education and training make physicians well-equipped to provide high quality health care decisions, yet prior authorization undermines physicians’ treatment decisions.

In 2026, Colorado enacted a new law that reforms prior authorization to support patients and physicians. Learn more about prior authorization reform here.
