HonorHealth-Scottsdale Thompson Peak Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

HonorHealth Scottsdale Thompson Peak is a community-based academic internal medicine program (29 residents total, six categorical spots/year) newly affiliated as primary clinical partner for ASU's John Shufeldt School of Medicine, blending community-feel training with emerging academic-medical-center resources. Clinical training spans multiple hospital sites (Thompson Peak, John C. Lincoln, Shea Medical Center ICU with ECMO exposure) plus off-site rotations at Mayo Clinic, the Phoenix VA, and underserved clinics (St. Vincent De Paul, Circle the City), giving broad exposure from routine to high-acuity "zebra" pathology. Scholarly activity is structurally supported through protected time, a QIPS curriculum, ResQIPS mentorship infrastructure, and consistent national conference presentations, though framed as encouraged rather than mandatory for a research career. The program explicitly supports diverse outcomes—fellowship (via numerous in-house fellowships in cardiology, GI, rheumatology, geriatrics, and others), hospital medicine, or primary care—while emphasizing small-cohort faculty mentorship, resident wellness culture, and a global health track in Tanzania.
