Doctors group calls for probe of UA College of Medicine-Phoenix
The Arizona Medical Association is calling for an independent investigation into the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Phoenix.
A resolution passed by the association’s House of Delegates on Saturday says the departures of six Phoenix medical school leaders, as well as recent accreditation issues, are reasons for serious concerns about medical education in the state.
The group is asking the Arizona Board of Regents to initiate an investigation into “any U of A organizational impediments or policies that contributed to the departures of the well-respected and quality team that was in place.”
Dr. Joe G.N. “Skip” Garcia, senior vice president of health sciences at the UA in Tucson, said on Tuesday that university leaders remain committed to the Phoenix medical school and that the departures that occurred are not unusual in academia.

This is definitely a vote of no confidence by the Arizona AMA. With a growing population the need for medical services and medical education will only increase in the future.
