Our fellowship consists of two years of clinical training. The curriculum offers a full range of clinical experience and research opportunities at multiple locations in Tucson. Fellows are required to attend weekly didactic sessions during protected academic time.
Diversity of exposure is the core of our program. Fellows care for patients, receive didactic experiences, and perform research at four affiliated sites. This provides each fellow with a broad range of experience working in various environments.
**Due to COVID-19 pandemic, we have restructured fellowship rotations and clinical involvement. We remain committed to maintaining the safety of our patients and staff. We have transitioned to a hybrid clinic schedule some telehealth and some in person. Didactics are in person but have a remote option. **
