Job description

Program Director -Internal Medicine Residency

HonorHealth, Scottsdale, Arizona

Lead an established ACGME-accredited Internal Medicine Residency Program while helping shape the future of medical education in Arizona.

HonorHealth, one of Arizona’s largest nonprofit healthcare systems, is seeking a Program Director for its Internal Medicine Residency. Candidates must be board certified and have at least five years of experience in an ACGME-accredited Internal Medicine residency program. Ambulatory, hospitalist, and internal medicine subspecialty physicians are encouraged to apply.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

As a smaller residency program, this position offers a unique opportunity to have a meaningful impact on every resident. As the teaching affiliate for the first medical school actually founded in the Phoenix metro area (now fifth largest city in the US), you will be on the ground floor to create the new American Medical School.AI is moving fast, and so is HonorHealth and ASU. If you are seeking an environment where new ideas are welcomed and innovation is embraced, consider joining HonorHealth, the region’s only physician lead, locally owned and managed, non-profit healthcare system.

The ASU Affiliation:

Arizona State University’s John Shufeldt School of Medicine and Medical Engineering accepted its first class in July 2026. As the school’s primary clinical affiliate, HonorHealth sits at the center of a new model of medical education — and this role carries direct influence over how that partnership develops.

• Dual Degree program earning a Master’s in Engineering
• AI Forward Teaching and Learning – Grasp of next generation Healthcare
• Excellent playground for device creation, wearables, capstone projects etc.
• ASU Academic Appointment commensurate with experience.
• ASU Tuition discounts - Core faculty receives for immediate family
• Access to cutting-edge technologies and potential device-industry collaborations

HonorHealth Commitment to Education and Research:

• 20 ACGME Residency and Fellowship Programs (and growing.)
• HonorHealth Research Institute- established in 2007 and leader in first in human clinical trials and vast clinical research division.
• Thompson Peak Medical Center, the primary teaching hospital, ranked #3 among the nation’s Top Teaching Hospitals by Fortune and recognized by Newsweek among the World’s Best Hospitals (2025).
• Arizona’s only locally owned and managed nonprofit healthcare system.
• Multiple national and regional honors for Best Places to Work, Best Hospital, Highest Physician Engagement, and Highest Patient Satisfaction.

Position Highlights:

Generous protected administrative time with dedicated GME support.

• Open to Ambulatory, Hospitalist or Sub-specialty Clinical Practice.
• 18 IM Residents (6 per year) + 4 Transitional Interns.
• Lead curriculum development, faculty advancement and program growth.
• Teach and mentor residents and medical students.
• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits.
• Meaningful personal and professional influence within a smaller, close-knit residency program.

We Honor Health is Seeking:

• Board Certified Internal Medicine (can also be BC IM Subspecialty).
• Demonstrated success in medical education, mentorship, faculty development and scholarly activity.

Current or former Program Directors are welcome, along with accomplished Associate Program Directors and experienced core faculty members ready to advance into program leadership.

Enjoy more than 300 days of sunshine, excellent schools including #1 nationally ranked BASIS, family-friendly communities, outstanding dining and year-round access to hiking, golf, lakes and mountains.
