The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson (COM-T) is transforming academic medicine through innovative undergraduate medical education and postgraduate training programs; strategic, interdisciplinary trans-institutional research; collaborative health care delivery; and a strong, diverse, and engaged faculty.

COM-T provides state-of-the-art programs of medical education, groundbreaking research opportunities, and leading-edge patient care. Founded on the campus of the University of Arizona (University) in 1967 as the state's only MD degree-granting college and a resource for the people of Arizona, today the College of Medicine ranks among the top medical schools in the nation for research and primary care. From an initial class of just 32 students, the College of Medicine today has graduated more than 5,000 physicians.

College of Medicine students, faculty, staff, and alumni today continue more than 50 years of service in advancing medical care and knowledge in Arizona—and around the world.

The College's integrated, multidisciplinary curriculum combines the latest advances in biomedical science with the practice of the classical art of medicine. In 2015, The University partnered with Banner Health, the fourth-largest healthcare corporation in the country, which serves as COM-T's primary clinical partner. In addition, affiliations with more than a dozen hospitals and healthcare facilities across two campuses ensure that students will always have access to groundbreaking research opportunities, world-class faculty, and meaningful patient-care experiences.

A strong engagement and fundraising program is a critical component of COM-T's strategic plan. Increased private philanthropy from alumni, grateful patients, community members, institutional funders, friends, and other constituencies is vital to the COM-T's future impact on the health of people in Arizona, the nation, and the world. COM-T is part of the University of Arizona Health Sciences (UAHS), a statewide leader in biomedical research and health professions training.
