HonorHealth Program

Program Identity & Fit

HonorHealth is a community-based, multi-site health system in the Phoenix/Scottsdale metro area that hosts a Transitional Year alongside a broad set of residency and fellowship programs, positioning the TY as a flexible launch pad into categorical training across medicine, surgery, and specialty fields. As the primary clinical affiliate for Arizona State University's new medical and medical-engineering school, the institution signals an emerging academic identity layered onto its community-hospital infrastructure and extensive regional clinical sites. The system's broader mission emphasizes community benefit, behavioral health integration, care for underserved and vulnerable populations, and an active global health elective (Tanzania partnership) open to PGY-2+ residents, giving the TY year exposure to both a well-resourced local health system and optional international/underserved rotations. HonorHealth appears to value learner-centered training, wellbeing, and physicians who will remain engaged with its community and clinical mission rather than a narrow research-first pathway.
