The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson, located in Tucson, Arizona, is one of four MD granting medical schools in the state of Arizona, and one of two medical schools at the University of Arizona. The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix was initially established as a branch campus of the College of Medicine - Tucson in 2007, and was granted independent accreditation in 2012. The College of Medicine – Tucson is located at the University of Arizona Health Sciences (UAHS) center on the campus of the University of Arizona and is governed by the Arizona Board of Regents. Traditionally, the college accepted Arizona residents exclusively. However, beginning the 2009–2010 incoming class, the school changed its policy to allow for admission of "highly-qualified," non-residents.
