Our program is spearheaded by an experienced and dedicated group of physician educators. We use our mission and aims to guide our training offerings and elevate our clinical and educational work environment for our future residents so they are supported in growing their medical knowledge and clinical skills towards becoming board-certified physicians in Family Medicine.
Residents who match into our program get the best of all worlds. Tucson’s personality has a small-town vibe, even with a population of almost one million. With 350 days of sunshine, Tucson is the first Unesco City of Gastronomy, and offers year-round outdoor activities. Just a short drive to Phoenix for national sports and musical events, as well as San Diego and Mexico for the beach and ocean, unlimited opportunities exist for personal wellness. Surrounded by four mountain ranges, you’ll experience stunning sunrises and sunsets, creosote smells of the desert after the monsoon rains, and a welcoming community.
Our program sponsor is Health Education Services (HES) as its ACGME-accredited sponsoring institution. HES approaches graduate medical education with the clinical, educational, and well-being needs of residents and faculty placed as the forefront in all they do. Choosing to place your trust in us for your next phase of physician education and training means you have the full backing and support of local, regional, and national leaders of Community Health Systems, one of the largest healthcare systems in the United States.
