Cost of Attendance: $322,193
Estimate repayment
Estimated loan burden for UACOM-P using 4 years of in-state tuition, $1,500 annual fees, $3,000 monthly living expenses, government-derived local cost-of-living adjustment, $1,000 loan fees, and an 8.5% interest assumption.
Cost of Living: Near national average cost of living
Phoenix, AZ is close to the national average for cost of living. In the debt estimate, the government-derived local cost adjustment keeps the $3,000 monthly allowance at about $3,090 per month. Treat this as a city-level budgeting estimate, not the school's official cost of attendance.
Environment: Urban
There is currently insufficient information to assess the neighborhood around UACOM-P.
Interview Feedback
Overall, applicants ranked the school in the top 26% of interviews, indicating it is moderately regarded. They found the interview very impressive with a moderate stress level and felt they did okay.

About the School
The University of Arizona, Arizona State University and the Arizona Board of Regents agreed to expand the Phoenix campus of The University of Arizona College of Medicine to a full, four-year program with a historic Memorandum of Understanding in August 2004. The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix in partnership with Arizona State University admitted its first class of first-year medical students in 2007.
Curriculum
The curriculum features an interactive teaching approach and an emphasis on biomedical informatics – the scientific field that deals with the storage, retrieval, sharing and optimal use of biomedical information, data and knowledge for problem solving and decision making. Students are prepared for scholarly projects in one of four concentration areas: biomedical informatics; medical ethics and medical humanities; molecular medicine; and public health, population medicine, policy and prevention.
For those interested in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, or Pediatrics and seeking an efficient, mission-driven pathway to clinical practice an accelerated program is offered. Applicants should be motivated to serve underserved communities, rural areas or vulnerable populations in Arizona.

Facilities
Located in downtown Phoenix, this campus will serve a key role in addressing Arizona’s shortage of physicians, pharmacists and other health professionals. The buildings that are home to the medical college are three of the original Phoenix Union High School buildings, built circa 1910, before Arizona was a state.
