School Info

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.

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.

What do you like most?

"Integrated curriculum and board-style test questions on exams. Fantastic clinical training throughout 1st and 2nd years, thanks to a brilliant, truly gifted instructor and well-respected internal medicine physician. Scholarly project requirement forces you to meet and become involved with physicians and medical researchers out in the field. Case-based instruction helps you stay up to date with the faculty and students at the school. For the time being, small class size helps; It's great to ensure a reasonable student:faculty ratio. Working every other week for a half-day in a primary care physician's office reminds you why you're putting yourself through constant studying hell." | Report Response

"Small class size, research project, block schedule." | Report Response

What do you like least?

"No video recordings of the lectures. Major hospitals in association with the school are not right next door; however, Good Sam, Maricopa, and St. Joe's are all within ~5 miles. Some IT and administrative-required things have to be done through U of A Tucson, which sometimes is a bit of a hassle." | Report Response

About the LizzyM Score

LizzyM, SDN Moderator and medical school admissions committee member, is the inventor of the LizzyM Score. The score allows you to see if you are a competitive applicant at a given school. If your LizzyM Score is far below or above the average, you may not be a good fit. If your score is far below, your application may be screened out due to numerical cutoffs. If it is far above, the school may assume they are your “safety” school and that you won’t attend if they offer an acceptance. This score should be used only as a guide to help you select schools and is not a guarantee of acceptance at any school. If you use this as your sole criteria to select medical schools to apply to, you don’t deserve to get in anyway.
