University of Arizona – Phoenix
The University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix in partnership with Arizona State University is a full, four-year program that was dedicated in October 2006. It is an expansion to downtown Phoenix of the UA College of Medicine program begun in 1992, which offered third- and fourth-year medical students the opportunity to complete their training at Phoenix-area hospitals. The Phoenix program takes its place in renovated historic buildings on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus in downtown Phoenix. The campus is also home to Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) and the Arizona Biomedical Collaborative, a joint research venture of the UA, Arizona State University (ASU) and Northern Arizona University (NAU).
The College of Medicine - Phoenix is a collaborative effort with ASU, the City of Phoenix, TGen, Valley hospitals, community physicians, foundations and other organizations to bring research and biomedical engineering to Maricopa County and further strengthen health care for Arizona.
It is housed in three historic buildings constructed around 1910 which were remodeled into a state-of-the-art medical education facility.
