The new Phoenix/Scottsdale Mayo Medical School campus will be admitting 50 students a year beginning in 2017. I believe this will be located at or by the Mayo Hospital at 56th St. and Mayo Blvd. in North Phoenix, not at the Mayo Clinic address at 132nd St. and Shea Blvd. in Scottsdale. The intern and residency rotations are already at the hospital and the new Proton Beam Therapy Center opens next door on Mayo Blvd. in 2016. http://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/blog/health-care-daily/2015/05/mayo-medical-school-gets-state-approval-for-150m.html
This isn’t new news.
Mayo announced in 2011 it was opening a second medical school campus in Phoenix. The program is a joint effort between Mayo Medic School and University of Arizona and will utilize UA’s faculty and facilities for the didactic portion of medical school (MS1-2)
Mayo has rotated its MS3-4 student thru both its Phoenix and Jacksonville campuses for several years.
@WayOutWestMom Sorry Mom, you are not correct. You are correct that 3-4 year students have rotated through Phoenix, but that is not the same as having a medical school in Phoenix. As the linked article says, the new school was just approved by the State Board in May, will cost $150 million, will open in 2017, and will admit about 50 MS1s a year. I only heard about because one of my son’s friends just finished his bio-engineering degree from ASU/Barrett and told me that he has decided to intern for a year and then he hopes to be a member of Mayo/Arizona’s first class.
M3s and M4s, from other programs will also be able to rotate through Mayo’s Jacksonville campus starting in 2016. Then, in 2017, Mayo will add the Phoenix campus to its existing Minnesota campus, with each admitting about 50 students a year. Here’s another link: http://www.mayo.edu/mms/about/medical-school-campuses
I think you misunderstood me.
Mayo has offered elective rotations for both its med students (MS3-4s) and its residents at both their Phoenix and Jacksonville facilities for a number of years now. When D1 interviewed at Mayo this fall, she was offered the opportunity to do the bulk of residency training at any one of the 3 Mayo campuses of her choice, or to rotate among all 3.
The opening of a full 4 year Mayo-Phoenix med school campus was announced back in 2011. It was originally supposed to accept a class of 48 students for fall 2014, but there have been numerous issues with funding and accreditation that has delayed its opening. (When D2 interviewed at Mayo-Rochester in fall 2014, she was told repeatedly she would be able to transfer to the Mayo-Phoenix campus for MS2 because the school wanted to have a full MS1-MS2 cohort at the Phoenix campus when it opened. But Mayo-Phoenix–>still not open.)
The Mayo-Phoenix med school is a joint project with UArizona-Phoenix. The 2 schools will share classroom/lab space and some faculty for their MS1-2 students, but the MS3-4 students rotate to different clinical facilities.
We will agree to disagree. I think the new announcements are clear that this is a new school and there is no mention of a joint project with UA Phoenix Medical School, which now has accreditation issues.
I have been talking directly with Mayo senior physicians and I am aware that plans for a Mayo medical school have long been in the works, but things have changed since 2011. Plans are now final and the announcements have been made. As my son’s buddy is doing, students can now begin planning to apply.
The new Phoenix Mayo Medical School is offering a Med School 101 presentation on Saturday, February 28, 2016, at at 7:45 AM:
“This is an informational seminar to learn what it takes to be accepted into Medical School. You will receive tips on how to prepare for the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), improve your application & interview skills, learn about financial aid and have the opportunity to ask questions of medical students. While this information is helpful when applying to any medical school, you will also learn about the upcoming Arizona Campus of Mayo Medical School.”

Here is an Arizona Republic article about the new Mayo Medical School. It will open in fall 2017 with 50 students. Classrooms and training facilities will be at Mayo’s Scottsdale campus at 13400 E. Shea Blvd. ASU will be building a new 150,000 sq.ft. building at Mayo’s Phoenix campus to house ASU’s schools of biomedical informatics and science of health-care delivery.
“[Mayo Medical} Students will simultaneously complete an ASU and Mayo Clinic certificate program in the science of health-care delivery, with six areas of study. Those areas include high-value care, leadership, person-centered care, population-centered care, system-based care and team-based care. Students will have the option to take additional courses to compete a master’s degree.”
