Groundbreaking day for @asuhealth.bsky.social headquarters in downtown Phoenix, the new home of @asumedicine.bsky.social and @asupubhealthtech.bsky.social. Arizona deserves more providers AND better ways to deliver care. We're building both. Onward and upward. #SunDevilDocs

Something remarkable is happening in downtown Phoenix — and I want you to be part of it. We're building a medical-engineering school from the ground up at @asumedicine.bsky.social. Not renovating. Not iterating. Building. 🌵 #MedicalEducation #HigherEd #SunDevilDocs
Arizona bioscience is at an inflection point—funding is shifting, but momentum is real. As Founding Dean @asumedicine.bsky.social and a member of the Flinn Foundation Bioscience Roadmap Steering Committee, I’m excited for what’s ahead.

Two brilliant artists, two very different mediums, one unforgettable morning. What museums do YOU never skip when visiting a city? 👇 #NMWA #ArtsAndMedicine #SunDevilDocs
This visit I had a reunion with my favorite: Remedios Varo's The Calling (1961) — and a first encounter with The Three Rivers (2021) by Melissa Cody, a Navajo textile artist from No Water Mesa, AZ. Her work is breathtaking.
I never pass up the National Museum of Women in the Arts when I'm in DC. As founding dean of the ASU John Shufeldt School of Medicine & Medical Engineering @asumedicine.bsky.social, I believe the arts and medicine belong in the same conversation.
"You certainly don't want to give patients the wrong drug." Doug Lake, immunologist and professor at @asumedicine.bsky.social, has developed a rapid test for Valley fever to fill a pressing clinical need.
In just 10 minutes, care providers have an accurate diagnosis and can plan proper treatment.
@asuhealth.bsky.social is proud to be Phoenix's research partner in delivering better health outcomes. At @asumedicine.bsky.social, we are grateful for the trust the Mayor and Council Members have placed in us. Working together for a healthier tomorrow. #SunDevilDocs
Drs. Rod Pettigrew, Sarah H Lisanby, and Sherine Gabriel, pose for a photo.
I've been reflecting on Dr. Rod Pettigrew's recent visit @asumedicine.bsky.social. Engineering is not just an add-on, but a way of thinking that enables physicians to navigate complexity, challenge assumptions, and design solutions for patients. If that's the future you want, join us. #SunDevilDocs
Phoenix is already smashing #heat records.

"If you are passionate about serving your community through innovation, if you want to help transform health care, and if you see yourself as a change-maker and problem-solver, this is the place for you." — @lisanby.bsky.social, founding dean, John Shufeldt School of Medicine and Medical Engineering
Type reads, "The school emphasizes hands-on problem solving from Day One. What types of challenges might students tackle in the curriculum? Students will take on real-world questions such as: How can we monitor chronic disease more effectively to improve outcomes for conditions like diabetes or heart disease? How can care be personalized so patients receive the treatment most likely to work for them the first time? These are exactly the kinds of challenges where technology, paired with thoughtful clinical insight, can make a meaningful difference."

Students can expect exceptional instructors, a fresh and innovative curriculum, hands-on opportunities for research and innovation, and outstanding clinical training."
Woman in white lab coat gestures toward woman she's talking with. Type reads, "Just as importantly, they can expect a community that is deeply invested in their success and well-being. We prioritize student wellness and provide robust support services so that every student has the opportunity to thrive — academically, professionally and personally."
Type reads, "What would you like the people of Arizona to know about how this school and its graduates could benefit their communities? Our school is deeply committed to Arizona. We are training the next generation of physicians to address the state’s most pressing health challenges — not only by educating more doctors, but by educating doctors to practice differently. Our graduates will be equipped to improve outcomes, expand access and use technology and health system design to benefit communities across Arizona and beyond."
