An engineering-focused medical school
Solving the health challenges facing patients, communities and the nation requires more than the treatment of illness — it requires a new model of medical education and technological innovation that improves outcomes at both individual and population scales.
ASU’s John Shufeldt School of Medicine and Medical Engineering was designed to drive this transformation by preparing physicians to lead change for a more effective, resilient and responsive health care system.
Headquartered in downtown Phoenix, the school will produce physicians who blend medicine, engineering, technology and humanities. Graduates will leverage new tools such as AI and data science to connect with more patients, develop innovative practices and be equipped to treat more patients in novel ways.
The school is part of ASU Health, a dynamic and comprehensive approach that focuses the nation’s most innovative university - Arizona State University - on the health needs and challenges of the state and the nation. ASU Health includes new schools, increased focus in existing schools and centers, new health initiatives and a statewide network of health clinics to better serve vulnerable populations while providing hands-on learning.
