More than a Medical School

Don't miss this breakfast event on Tuesday, July 11, 2006 !!

More than a Medical School
The Statewide Impact of the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Phoenix

presented by Judy Bernas

In 2004, Arizona had only 207 doctors for every 100,000 patients, well below the national average. By 2015, class size at the new University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix Campus will grow to 150, doubling the number of MDs graduating in Arizona each year and greatly improving the number of physicians who are trained to serve the state’s growing population.

The University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix Campus was established in 2004. In collaboration with Arizona State University and the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), it will be located on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus in downtown Phoenix at 7th Street and Van Buren. The first class of 24 aspiring students will start their journey at the new Phoenix medical school in July 2007. By 2015, the campus will support more than 600 medical school and 800 graduate students.

I plan to be at this discussion on the community, state, economic, and collaborative benefits of the Phoenix Biomedical Campus and the UA College of Medicine. For information, and to RSVP, go to http://www.asu.edu/xed/phoenixam/index.html#details
