Announcements:
November, 2011
The University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix has been informed by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) that the college may expand the downtown Phoenix campus to 80 students per year from 48. Although the LCME - the nationally recognized accrediting authority for medical schools - does not grant permission to increase the class size, it does determine adequate resources exist to accommodate the larger class size. Therefore, the College of Medicine-Phoenix plans to admit 80 students in July 2012, at the same time the new Health Sciences Education Building is scheduled to open.
September, 2011
The Arizona Board of Regents has approved allowing the Phoenix and Tucson campuses of the University of Arizona College of Medicine to admit up to 50 percent out-of-state students.
The adjustment comes as the College of Medicine – Phoenix prepares to move into a new building scheduled to be completed in July 2012. That expansion accommodates an increased class size from 48 to 80 per year in Phoenix, pending approval from the LCME.
The College of Medicine – Phoenix is the expansion of the long-standing UA College of Medicine in Tucson, which was established in 1967. The College of Medicine – Phoenix opened in 2007 and graduated its first cohort of 24 students in May 2011. The campus will have 192 students in the fall of 2011, all in the full, four-year program housed in Phoenix.
The campus is in the midst of expansion with the construction of the 268,000-square foot Health Sciences Education Building. A year into the construction, the building is set to be completed by the summer of 2012, allowing for the increased class size if approved. Plans are to eventually admit up to 120 students per year on the Phoenix campus. The $129 million Health Sciences Education Building will house lecture halls, classrooms, offices, clinical skills suites, a simulation center, labs and other amenities for the College of Medicine. It is also projected to play host to students from the UA colleges of Public Health and Pharmacy as well as a physician’s assistant program from Northern Arizona University’s College of Health and Human Services.
