U.S. News/Castle Connolly Top Doctors at University of Colorado Hospital

U.S. News & World Report has released a list of Top Doctors and 112 physicians from UCH are on it.

The U.S. News list is a free, searchable directory of 30,000 peer-nominated physicians from across the country. U.S. News Top Doctors was created in collaboration with Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., publisher of America’s Top Doctors and other consumer health guides. It draws from Castle Connolly’s database of Top Doctors, all of whom are recommended for their clinical skills by other doctors and individually vetted by a physician-led research team.

Among the physician criteria evaluated for inclusion in the guide:

  • Education
  • Professional qualifications
  • Board certification
  • Residency
  • Fellowships
  • Hospital appointments
  • Professional reputation

Castle Connolly's rigorous selection process

To get a list of nominees for its "top doctors" list, Castle Connolly sends nomination instructions to a pool of randomly selected doctors, who then nominate peers they consider to be clinically outstanding. Added to the nominee list are physicians recommended by hospital administrators.

A CCML physician-led research staff reviews lists of nominated doctors in different regions of the U.S., and then validates and verifies credentials.

Each physician appearing on the preliminary lists is asked to complete and submit to CCML a comprehensive biography, which is also reviewed as a criterium. Finally, researchers cross-reference preliminary lists against multiple databases that include board certification, licensing, and disciplinary history.
