The College of Health Sciences will initially provide five graduate-level degree programs, including for midwifery, physician assistants and clinical translational services.

University of Arizona Health Sciences has launched a new college to combat the critical shortage of doctors and medical professionals in the state.

Only 40% of primary care needs and 25% of genetic counseling needs are currently being met in the state, according to a news release from UA Health Sciences. Approximately 3.2 million Arizonans, the news release said, live in an area with health care shortages. While some of the programs are up and running, others are set to launch in 2025 and 2026. They will take an average of two years to complete.
