Welcome to the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix Med-Peds program. Our program is one of the oldest and most established, with the first class graduating in 1988. We pride ourselves on having strong community roots while enjoying the academic support of a university-based program. Our 24 residents come from various backgrounds, bringing a wealth of perspectives and experiences. This diversity enriches the learning environment and fosters a culture of mutual respect and collaboration in an inclusive community.
We provide numerous opportunities to participate in clinical research and support for presenting and publishing scholarly activity. Our leadership team remains dedicated to your personal and professional growth with professional coaching, mentorship, and opportunities for leadership development. As you can see from our website, graduates of our program are well-prepared to enter careers as hospitalists, primary care physicians, or pursue subspecialty fellowship training.
As you explore residency programs, it is important to find a balance with your personal wellness and life outside of work. The state of Arizona boasts a rich cultural heritage with a mix of Indigenous, Hispanic, and Western influences. It is home to breathtaking natural wonders like the Grand Canyon, Sedona’s red rocks, and multiple national parks. If you enjoy outdoor activities, it is the perfect place to go hiking, biking, boating, or enjoy a round of golf. I encourage you to learn more about our program on the website and take time to visit the many wonders in our beautiful state!
