Greater Phoenix: The Silicon Valley of health
Situated in Phoenix Bioscience Core — a 30-acre urban district dedicated to life sciences, translational research and health care entrepreneurship — the John Shufeldt School of Medicine and Medical Engineering is central to a medical innovation ecosystem that includes multiple ASU Health units, hospitals and biomedical research institutions. Proximity to organizations like the Translational Genomics Research Institute, or TGen, the International Genomics Consortium, satellite facilities of the National Institutes of Health and numerous industry partners ensure that students are immersed in real-world opportunities — from research to internships and startup collaborations.
