The new labor and delivery suite and women's care center provide facilities for caring for a growing patient population.
Residents also rotate through other private hospitals in the Phoenix area.
This program is integrated with Phoenix Children's Hospital. The program features a strong ambulatory component, as well as an outstanding psycho-social curriculum.
