Kino College facilities are located within major community medical campuses as part of our partnership with major health organizations, which includes Northwest Allied Physicians and Banner University Medical Group. This facility model has several advantages.


Students are immersed in this medical environment from day one through an externship. They attend classes in a classroom on a medical campus, practice their skills using equipment in both the classroom and in examination rooms, participate in observational studies within the medical environment, and interact on a regular basis with medical personnel.
A unique element of the curriculum is a midternship experience for students. Similar to externship, this experience provides the students an opportunity to begin practicing their skills midway through their program.
Midternship Experience
After just 12 weeks in the program, students begin a 40-hour midternship designed to bridge classroom learning with real-world exposure. Instead of being limited to a single location, students have the opportunity to shadow across multiple clinics giving them a broader view of different specialties, workflows, and patient interactions. This early, hands-on experience helps build confidence, clarify career interests, and better prepare students for their full externship and future role in the medical field.
Adjunct instructors and guest lecturers are drawn from the community medical campuses and adjacent medical practices. Career placement is focused on meeting the needs of the community medical campuses and nearby medical practices.
The Kino College Main Campus is located within the Northwest Medical Center campus. The administrative offices are located at 1980 W Hospital Dr., Suite 202, Tucson, Arizona 85704.
