Family Medicine Residency Program
Scottsdale Healthcare's Family Medicine Residency Program was established in
1974. Our community-based program has an affiliation 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. We are
a member of the Arizona Medical Education Consortium (AzMEC) which ensures
high quality medical education in the Phoenix area.
Our Mission

Our graduates have gone on to practice in a wide variety of settings, including private

the state of Arizona, while others have gone on to practice throughout the
United States and internationally.
