The initiative will expand three programs in 2024 and build 16 new programs by 2027, growing the number of specialty-trained physicians through the partnership by more than 60%.<\/p>\n

As an extension of the Arizona Board of Regents\u2019 (ABOR) AZ Healthy Tomorrow<\/a> initiative, which Fred DuVal, chair-elect of the ABOR described as \u201cthe most aggressive and comprehensive health care plan in Arizona\u2019s history,\u201d the agreement will ensure that physicians who wish to practice where they were trained is greatly expanded.<\/p>\n

In addition, new programs in anesthesiology, dermatology, neurosurgery, ophthalmology and otolaryngology will be introduced. The expansion plan also includes increasing the number of neurology and surgery residency positions.<\/a> Collectively, these specialties will welcome 64 residents.<\/p>\n

The new fellowship offerings<\/a> will allow 21 fellows to train across seven new programs. In a later phase, further residency programs may be developed.<\/p>\n

This unprecedented growth in the future of the health care workforce would not be possible without a shared commitment to serve the residents of Arizona.<\/p>\n

Banner \u2013 University Medical Center Phoenix, formerly Banner Good Samaritan, has supported the advanced training of physicians through residency and fellowship programs for more than 60 years. Through this partnership, the College of Medicine \u2013 Phoenix serves as the academic sponsor of Banner\u2019s Phoenix-based graduate medical education program<\/a>, which provides clinical training and resources for more than 340 residents and fellows across 29 accredited specialty programs.<\/p>\n

With more than 140 new family medicine<\/a> and internal medicine<\/a> resident positions coming to Banner Payson Medical Center, Banner Desert Medical Center and Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center, Banner Health will increase access to primary care training within the state. Currently, Arizona ranks 44th among the 50 states in primary care physicians per capita.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese new positions are critically needed to address the national and regional physician shortages,\u201d said Michael Kupferman, MD<\/a>, senior vice president of physician enterprise and president of the Banner \u2013 University Medicine Division. \u201cRecognizing that most doctors choose to practice medicine where they were trained, we are excited to advance this opportunity to bring new physicians to Arizona who will hopefully remain in the region to care for our population. Retaining our exceptionally trained residents and fellows within the Banner Health system will further support our mission of providing outstanding medical care across the state.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":986,"parent":0,"template":"","college":[10],"uahs_theme":[],"class_list":["post-826","story","type-story","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","college-college-of-medicine-phoenix"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nIncreasing residency and fellowship positions in Phoenix - University of Arizona Health Sciences Annual Impact Report 2024<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/annualreports.healthsciences.arizona.edu\/2023\/story\/increasing-residency-and-fellowship-positions-in-phoenix\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Increasing residency and fellowship positions in Phoenix - University of Arizona Health Sciences Annual Impact Report 2024\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The initiative will expand three programs in 2024 and build 16 new programs by 2027, growing the number of specialty-trained physicians through the partnership by more than 60%.
