Medical Education
Banner Health is a leading provider of well-trained and highly skilled physicians through medical education programs at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix and at North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley, Colorado. These programs train nearly 260 doctors in residencies including family practice, internal medicine/pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, podiatry, psychiatry and surgery and fellowship programs including hepatology, gastroenterology, geriatrics, pulmonary/critical care, cardiology, interventional cardiology, endocrinology, maternal-fetal medicine, and toxicology.
In response to the ongoing shortage of key health care workers, Banner Health has developed the Banner Center for Health Careers as a long-term initiative to create a pool of qualified clinical professionals in nursing and other hard-to-fill areas such as pharmacy, medical imaging, and respiratory therapy.
Banner Health has provided nearly $5 million for the training of future doctors, nurses, and therapists and the continuing education of current health care professionals.
