don't confuse Banner Desert with Banner Good Samaritan. Good Sam has all cores and electives for UofA students. Banner Desert only has a family practice residency program. I spoke with the med ed coordinator at Banner Desert some time ago and was told what dancer was told, no cores only electives and "we have no official program set up yet, but you can email me and i will get back to you later when we have something" That was about 4 months ago and still nothing. I really want to match in phoenix and was hoping to do an elective at ANY hospital there, but so far i have had no luck. It's unfortunate that Ross list this site as an affiliated hospital when in actuality they are just an affiliation on paper.
