The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix OB/GYN Residency is a university-affiliated academic program anchored at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix, a tertiary referral center within the Banner Health system. The program matches nine residents per class and operates alongside in-house Maternal Fetal Medicine and Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery fellowships, indicating residents train within a subspecialty-rich environment and are exposed to complex obstetric and gynecologic surgical pathology beyond routine care. The presence of these fellowships suggests the program values residents who can function within a layered academic hierarchy and engage with subspecialty faculty and fellows during training. Limited public detail on tracks, research requirements, or community sites suggests the identity centers on the core academic medical center experience rather than an underserved or rural mission.
