COM Phoenix Campus

History

The University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix is a full, four-year program that was dedicated in October 2006. It is an expansion to downtown Phoenix of the UA College of Medicine program begun in 1992, which offered third- and fourth-year medical students the opportunity to complete their training at Phoenix-area hospitals. The Phoenix program takes its place in renovated historic buildings on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus in downtown Phoenix. The campus is also home to the UA College of Pharmacy, Arizona State University Department of Biomedical Informatics, Northern Arizona University Allied Health programs and the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen). The campus is near the ASU College of Nursing and Healthcare Innovation and School of Social Work, as well as the other ASU Downtown academic programs.
