Mayo Clinic has announced an ambitious $120 million plan to open an Arizona medical school in collaboration with Arizona State University.
The Mayo Medical School?Arizona Campus?will double the size of Mayo?s physician training effort, to about 96 students per year, half at each site, and 200 students active in the combined programs at any given time.
Graduates of the new Arizona program will receive a master?s in the science of health-care delivery from ASU and an M.D. degree from Mayo Medical School.
The medical school and Mayo?s plan to build a $188 million pencil beam proton therapy cancer-treatment facility in Arizona, demonstrate the clinic?s commitment to the region, Mayo CEO Dr. John Noseworthy said from Arizona.
?This is really Mayo Clinic saying that we are the premier academic center in Phoenix for health care,? he said. ?This is very much a bold leadership move on Mayo?s part.?
Mayo Arizona CEO?Dr. Wyatt Decker?said an already eight-year-old Mayo-ASU collaboration in areas such as nursing education and joint law-and-medical degrees will deepen with ?mutual engagement across a full spectrum of activities related to health care, medical research and education.
