Why a College of Osteopathic Medicine in Phoenix, Arizona?

National Physician Shortage

Highest % Increase Needed in the West

National Physician Shortage up to 124,000 by 2034

Primary Care Shortage up to 48,000
Highest % Need in West
Maricopa County is the fastest growing county in the US

Factors:

growth of population
aging of population
impending retirement: 2 of every 5 physicians will be 65+ within 10 years

Outcomes:

Access to quality healthcare diminishes as a result of a physician shortage
Arizona is already low in Physicians per capita (42nd)

The proposed Valley College of Osteopathic Medicine will be a driver of the regional economy.

The proposed osteopathic medical school in the Greater Phoenix area will bring a new revenue stream to the region and state and is likely to inspire additional economic development through the impending expansion of other health science education programs, clinical and research partnerships with nearby hospitals, and private business expansions that may be developed.

In 2030, when the proposed school is fully operational, it will have an economic impact (direct and indirect economic benefits) of $58.5 million, support more than 148 jobs, and generate $1.8 million in taxes for communities in the region.

In addition to the operational impact outlined above, by 2035 the economic impact of the proposed campus will grow to $179.8 million as Arizona communities will begin realizing healthcare benefits and additional economic impact as graduates settle in the region and state. Tripp Umbach estimates that by 2035 when the first three classes of medical students complete their residencies, these new primary care physicians will also yield real savings, as emergency room utilization declines, for example. These savings are expected to total $135.4 million annually by 2035.

By 2045, commercial spin-off activity from research completed at the proposed campus will equal $27.2 million annually, sustaining approximately 562 additional jobs in Arizona.

By 2050, the total economic impact of the proposed college to Arizona will equal more than $1.7 billion, support over 2,924 jobs and contribute more than $128.5 million to state and local governments.

Learning Science

We have an opportunity to disrupt traditional medical education with a learning science and data driven contemporary approach.

Learning Science is largely untapped in medical education with 1 COM attempting to use as a differentiating factor (Noorda).

Compare: how data analytics changed sports, education is under the same transformation to personalized learning.
