The CU-Denver Anschutz Medical Campus, home of the University of Colorado—Denver School of Medicine, is located in Aurora, Colo., about eight miles from Denver.

There are also about 40 centers and institutes, including the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes, one of the world’s largest type 1 diabetes research and care centers, as well as initiatives such as the AIDS Clinical Trials Unit and a Neuroscience Center and Training Program.
The school also runs a free, eight-week Mini Medical School program, which is not accredited or degree-awarding but offers lectures to anyone who wishes to learn more about the practice of medicine. There is no on-campus housing at the Anschutz Medical Campus, but CU-Denver coordinates an online database of nearby housing options.
