University of Arizona College of Medicine-Tucson Program

Program Identity & Fit

The University of Arizona OB/GYN residency is a university-affiliated academic program built around three subspecialty divisions (General OB/GYN, Gynecologic Oncology, and Maternal-Fetal Medicine, the latter with its own accredited fellowship), training five residents per year across Banner University Medical Center's main and south campuses and a dedicated Reproductive Health Center. Faculty research spans translational and clinical work, from novel fallopian tube imaging devices and endoscopic technology development to gynecologic oncology clinical trials (PARP inhibitors, folate-receptor imaging agents) and MFM/placental physiology studies, giving residents exposure to device innovation and trial-based subspecialty research alongside routine clinical training. The presence of an in-house MFM fellowship and active oncology trial infrastructure signals a program oriented toward subspecialty training and academic productivity rather than a purely community-generalist track. The program appears to value residents who can engage with structured clinical education (e.g., dedicated curriculum on training threshold concepts) while functioning across a multi-site, Banner-based safety-net and tertiary patient population in Tucson.
