ASU’s medical school will produce physicians who blend medicine, engineering, technology and humanities to become leaders in health care. Graduates will leverage new tools such as AI and data science to connect with more patients and develop innovative practices.

The School of Medicine and Advanced Medical Engineering will focus the country’s most innovative university on training and equipping this next generation of medical professionals to address and manage the health challenges facing our state, the nation — and each of us.

The medical school is one facet of ASU Health, an unprecedented approach to health created by ASU, that will transform how health care is designed, delivered and measured while also producing health care leaders who will be focused every day on Arizona’s health.

A comprehensive approach to health

The graduates of ASU’s medical school will be trained to care for a patient one-on-one and a community at scale. Their educational background will draw from multiple disciplines like the humanities, biological sciences, AI, community care and more. This training will create a health care leader with a strong sense of innovation, problem-solving, empathy, health systems thinking and comfort with new devices and protocols in treatment.

A different type of university
