Asa F. Ware, MD - Program Director

University of Colorado School of Medicine

North Colorado Family Medicine Residency

About Dr. Ware: I'm Asa Ware (he/him/his) and I was born in Seattle, Washington but have spent most of my life in Colorado—Wray, Boulder, Denver, and Greeley. While growing up in rural northeastern Colorado, I developed interests in chemistry, teaching, and medicine. Family medicine combined these interests. Through medical school and residency training, I solidified my passion for full spectrum, rural family medicine. I started my residency training at North Colorado Family Medicine in 2013 and it has been my home ever since. Serving as faculty at NCFM allows me to live out my passions of teaching and preparing physicians for the full spectrum and rural medicine I love so well. At NCFM I get to work with diverse and inspiring faculty and resident physicians, and I so enjoy preparing our young doctors for their future careers. Outside of medicine, I enjoy photography, TV and movies, card and board games, traveling, hiking, and spending time with friends and family—especially my wife and two daughters.
