Welcome! The Department of Family and Community Medicine has been providing excellence in resident training for more than 40 years. We offer two unique, separately-accredited family medicine residency tracks—the Alvernon and the South Campus tracks. Residents enjoy clinical medicine and clinical research opportunities, numerous fellowship and advanced degree programs, excellent benefits and a diverse and talented faculty.
Please note, if you want to apply to both tracks, you must apply to each one separately, using their unique ERAS IDs.
Both tracks offer a strong and busy inpatient experience, outpatient practices with diverse and underserved populations, and the option to participate in the Health Care Disparities/Medical Spanish Distinction Track.
Tucson, Arizona is an easy 1.5 hour drive south of Phoenix and about an hour north of the US-Mexico border. Although it feels like a small town, Tucson boasts many highlights of a large city. With mild winters and bearable summers, hiking, cycling, and various outdoor activities are possible year-round.
