School of Medicine provides the face of Denver's 'Top Doctors'

That's a faculty member of the University of Colorado School of Medicine smiling back from the October cover of 5280 Magazine.

Mark Earnest, M.D., is the face of the publication's annual Top Docs issue, one of the most popular of the year. Earnest is associate professor of medicine in the division of internal medicine and the director of the school's LEADS (Leadership Education and Advocacy Development) program.

Earnest is one of 190 full-time and clinical faculty members on this year's list of 283 metro-area physicians as voted on by other physicians. It's the second year in a row a faculty member of the school made the cover of the edition, which last year featured Jean Kutner, M.D.
