The 3-year MD program is part of the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix (UACOMP) program that is LCME accredited, and, as such, the requirements and prerequisites for application are the same as for the 4-year MD program.

We are thrilled to share that UACOMP now has a new regional branch in Yuma, Arizona in Collaboration with Onvida Health. This development marks a historic milestone, making us the first state medical school with a regional branch located in rural Arizona. Years-in-the-making, the Yuma Branch will welcome its first cohort of 3-year PCAP students with the class matriculating class in July 2026.
