Patient Care

The University of Arizona College of Medicine works with affiliated hospitals and other health-care facilities throughout Arizona to care for patients statewide. Patients benefit from the perspective of many physicians, including resident-physicians and fellows, who team up with faculty members to provide optimal health care in a variety of settings.

University Medical Center (UMC), a private non-profit hospital located on the campus of the Arizona Health Sciences Center (AHSC), works closely with all AHSC entities and serves as the primary teaching and research hospital for the UA Colleges of Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy. Ranked by U.S. News and World Report as one of America’s top hospitals, UMC provides the highest level of emergency treatment, advanced technology and quality patient care. In addition, UMC provides advanced treatment on an inpatient and outpatient basis in more than 70 specialty areas.

University Physicians Healthcare, the professional group practice organization for clinical faculty of the UA College of Medicine, provides a second hospital training site in Tucson as well as outpatient clinics throughout the city. UPH Hospital anchors a recently established new academic medical campus on Tucson’s south side, with teaching and research facilities for the AHSC colleges, along with physicians' offices and specialized medical treatment centers.

The College of Medicine's multiple affiliations with hospitals and clinics in metropolitan Tucson and Phoenix are complemented by educational and outreach programs that bring superb hands-on health care to outlying communities throughout Arizona.

In addition, patients residing in rural and geographically isolated areas benefit from advanced technologies at the College of Medicine. Through the Arizona Telemedicine Program, the College brings specialists to remote locations, providing medical support and consultation with health-care practitioners via telemedicine.
