If I begin a rotation at a site and don’t like it, can I switch to a different one?

Students selected for the Yuma Branch Campus are expected to complete their clinical training at that campus. Routine requests to switch to Phoenix or other Arizona sites will not be considered, as the program’s success depends on sustained, longitudinal engagement between students, faculty, and the local residency teams in Yuma, Arizona.

For the post-matriculation PCAP option, if a site and student determine early in the training period (within the first 18 months of the foundational curriculum and before starting the clinical rotations) that the placement is not a good fit, a reassignment may be possible depending on availability and capacity. However, if concerns arise later in training, the student may need to transition (“off-ramp) into the traditional 4-year UACOMP curriculum. These students may still pursue Primary Care alongside other Primary-Care–bound students who are not part of the accelerated track.
