Build a Healthier Arizona
The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix is thrilled to announce the Brick by Brick Endowment Fund to Build a Healthier Arizona. Community members, faculty, students and staff are invited to make a $250 investment in the College and leave a permanent legacy behind with a brick displayed in your honor in the Health Sciences Education Building canyon.
Meet The Kayes: They purchased a brick to honor their son, Bryan Kaye, MD, who graduated from the UA College of Medicine – Phoenix in 2013. “We felt he would permanently be part of this institution with having this brick there, and with graduation from medical school, we thought what better way to honor him, which I think other parents should do for their child too,” explained Wendy Kaye, MD.
Be like the Kayes.
“My wife and I thought it was not only a great way to not only honor Bryan, but to give back to the school for having launched our son into a career in emergency room medicine,” said Marty Kaye, MD.

About the College
Founded in 2007, the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix inspires and trains exemplary physicians, scientists and leaders to advance its core missions in education, research, clinical care and service to communities across Arizona. The college’s strength lies in our collaborations and partnerships with clinical affiliates, community organizations and industry sponsors. With our primary affiliate, Banner Health, we are recognized as the premier academic medical center in Phoenix. As an anchor institution of the Phoenix Bioscience Core, the college is home to signature research programs in neurosciences, cardiopulmonary diseases, immunology, informatics and metabolism. These focus areas uniquely position us to drive biomedical research and bolster economic development in the region.
As an urban institution with strong roots in rural and tribal health, the college has graduated more than 1,000 physicians and matriculates 130 students each year. Greater than 60% of matriculating students are from Arizona and many continue training at our GME sponsored residency programs, ultimately pursuing local academic and community-based opportunities. While our traditional four-year program continues to thrive, we will launch our recently approved accelerated three-year medical student curriculum with exclusive focus on primary care. This program is designed to further enhance workforce retention needs across Arizona.
The college has embarked on our strategic plan for 2025 to 2030. Learn more.
