Special Features
We are a newly ACGME-accredited residency program located in the heart of Tucson, AZ. Our residents will train alongside Internal Medicine residents in state of the art facilities, Northwest Medical Center, Oro Valley Hospital, and its ambulatory network that collectively comprise Northwest Healthcare Tucson. The resident lounges at both hospitals were renovated in 2023. Our curriculum is tailored to each learner -- assuring that residents graduate ready and excited for the next career step.
