Electives allow students to learn in various settings, both clinical and non-clinical, with the aim of preparing students to become active members of the health care team. Students rotate through electives primarily in their fourth year of medical school. Clinical electives account for the majority of elective time. These electives range across a wide array of specialties, and include a third-year ambulatory elective of the student’s preference. Additionally, students are able to spend up to eight weeks in non-patient care electives. Research, theme based, Medical Spanish and Independent Study (an elective the student has designed/personalized according to an area of interest) are common examples of non-patient care electives.

Our major clinical partners is Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix (formerly Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center).

Many of our electives occur at the sites mentioned above, however, students also participate in away electives as needed to gain experience in select specialties.

Electives range from two to four weeks.
