Best Thing About Our Program: I was impressed with both the quality of the program and how our leadership team truly care about the well-being of the residents.

Lastly, Phoenix is home and having a young child it made sense to be closer to family.

Best Thing About Our Program: What don’t I love about the College of Medicine – Phoenix? As a native Arizonian, I knew that I wanted to stay so I could be a physician for my community.

Phoenix is more developed and diverse each year, and it is a joy to see it flourish as much as it has. This program really has everything to offer!
