Education
Quality education is a high priority for both, the University of Arizona’s College of Medicine – Tucson and the Department of Medicine. We seek to support and enhance the academic and professional journeys of our students, trainees and faculty in every way possible.

We offer a wide variety of comprehensive training opportunities supervised by boarded, dedicated and nationally renowned faculty.
