About Us
Welcome to the MWU GME Consortium, an ACGME-accredited Sponsoring Institution for nine ACGME-accredited Residency Programs and one ACGME-accredited Fellowship Program. Our programs are strategically placed across four hospitals and one multispecialty clinic, offering a unique geographical diversity: Canyon Vista Medical Center [Family Medicine and Internal Medicine] in the picturesque Sierra Vista, Arizona; Kingman Regional Medical Center [Emergency Medicine and Family Medicine] in the historic city of Kingman, Arizona; Midwestern University Multispecialty Clinic [Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine (ONMM3)] in the vibrant Glendale, Arizona; Mountain Vista Medical Center [Family Medicine, Gastroenterology, General Surgery, and Internal Medicine] in the bustling Mesa, Arizona; and Verde Valley Medical Center [Internal Medicine] in the tranquil Cottonwood, Arizona.
Each participating site offers a unique and enriching clinical experience. Our Sponsoring Institution supports a quality clinical learning environment in each program, hospital, and clinic. Our trainees can expect a stimulating educational environment with exposure to a diverse scope, variety, and volume of patients and will participate in a comprehensive curriculum. Graduates will be well-prepared for autonomous practice in rural, urban, and metropolitan areas.
Our Mission
The MWU GME Consortium is focused on osteopathic principles and practices, development, and support of clinical rotations. Our member hospitals, residency, and fellowship programs are committed to a quality learning environment under the guidance of exceptional program directors and faculty, focusing on delivering quality patient care in our communities.
Our Aims
We aim to support the well-being of our trainees and faculty, provide resources for Osteopathic Recognition, clinical research and scholarly activity, curricular development assistance, competency-based faculty development programs, and assist in the advancement and graduation of proficient trainees.
Why Midwestern University?
Midwestern University has been educating Osteopathic Physicians since 1900, and meeting the needs of the education continuum requires the development of quality training programs. The MWU GME Consortium is integral to the Midwestern University academic communities, governed by laws defining its distinct mission, purpose, membership, governance, committee structure, officers, and operational management.
The current organizational structure of the MWU GME Consortium is unique because it includes two Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) Osteopathic Medical Schools: Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine (CCOM), located on the Downers Grove Campus in Illinois and Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine (AZCOM), located on the Glendale Campus in Arizona. The MWU GME Consortium structure is a unified academic community in two regions, providing comprehensive services and support to ensure the success of the postdoctoral training programs. Under the aegis of the MWU Governing Board, each campus oversees its separate geographical region for postdoctoral training programs.
