Family Medicine Residency Program

Scottsdale Healthcare's Family Medicine Residency Program was established in 1974. Our community-based program is affiliated with the University of Arizona College of Medicine. The high standards of training in our program have been documented through a long history of successful graduates and a 100% pass rate on the American Board of Family Practice Certification Examination.

Our Mission














Our graduates, consistent with the Future of Family Medicine Project goals www.futurefamilymed.org, will:

  • provide comprehensive, relationship-centered primary care.
  • maintain continuity of care, maximize accessibility of care, and collaborate effectively with other healthcare providers.
  • provide high-quality, cost-effective care through the use of advanced technology.
  • maintain and add to their knowledge and skills in the practice of family medicine.
  • practice preventive medicine in the context of the individual, family, and community.
  • consider behavioral, emotional, social, cultural, and environmental factors as they promote health.
  • demonstrate the highest standard of professional conduct and ethical practice.
  • maintain a balance between professional satisfaction and a rewarding personal life.

    Our graduates have gone on to practice in a wide variety of settings, including private practice, academic institutions, rural settings, urgent care or ER based practices, and as hospitalists.

    Since the program's inception, approximately one half of our graduates have remained in the state of Arizona, while others have gone on to practice throughout the United States and internationally.
