Residency Programs
University of Arizona Family Medicine Residency Program
Our Family Medicine residency program is a three-year training program with a current roster of 7 to 8 residents per year. The first year is a traditional rotational internship with most of the work done in the inpatient setting. The second and third years are a combination of inpatient and outpatient rotations with the option of out of town electives. The program is in its 37th year and witnessed its 244th graduate in June 2009.
Our residency inpatient service is currently at University Physicians Healthcare Hospital at Kino (UPHHK). Our residency Maternal Child Health service (MCH), which cares for laboring and post-partum mothers, newborns, and hospitalized children, is located at UMC. Interns rotate through surgery at UPHHK, at Tucson Medical Center and/or UMC for Pediatrics inpatient, at the VA Hospital for Dermatology, and at Maricopa Hospital in Phoenix for one block of OB. The Family Medicine Center at Alvernon is the outpatient base for resident and faculty practices with a patient volume of approximately 25,000 visits annually. Twelve core faculty members do the bulk of teaching and attending both in clinic and on our inpatient services at UMC and UPHH.
University of Arizona/UPHK Graduate Medical Education Consortium Family Medicine Residency Program
In a unique venture involving the collaboration of the University of Arizona, University Physicians Healthcare, the State of Arizona, Pima County, and AHEC, the Department of Family and Community Medicine has designed a new family medicine residency program, based on the UPHH campus, that addresses the need to produce more family physicians who are prepared for and motivated to work with vulnerable populations in under-resourced areas of Arizona. Residents will spend two 4-week blocks during each year of training at rural Arizona sites. Each resident will also have a continuity-clinic based at the UPHH Family Medicine Center. The Department of Family and Community Medicine has succeeded in building a diverse and talented group of new faculty based on the Kino Campus. These faculty members and our Department will welcome its first resident trainees in July of 2010.
