Maricopa Integrated Health System (MIHS), Dignity Health St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, Creighton University, and District Medical Group (DMG) have joined forces to form the Creighton University Arizona Health Education Alliance. This partnership brings together a university recognized for providing outstanding training for students and residents in the health sciences and two health care providers known for their impressive history of caring for members of the greater Phoenix community.
MIHS and St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center also have long histories of success in preparing physicians for the medicine of tomorrow. They offer Arizona’s longest running residency programs and train hundreds of physicians every year in a wide range of clinical settings.
With this new partnership, we anticipate some major changes coming in 2018. There will be new facilities, improved resources and greater fellowship opportunities as residents pursue their chosen specialty.
What will not change is the dedicated teaching faculty, the diversity of patient care encounters and experiences, or the commitment to resident education and professional and personal development. The goal is to build a better health care system and a stronger educational institution with shared resources and talent. More news to follow soon!!
