Anyone from AZ?

Hi, i'm in the process of selecting my rotation sites for my 6th year and my school offers one in Tempe, AZ that deals with naturopathic medicine. However, I would have to go from the medical campus to the offsite clinic approximately 5 miles away. I heard that you DEFINITELY need a car to get around. Is this true? I'm originally from NYC and never really learned how to drive since i've never had to. I looked up public transportation in the phoenix area and i CAN potentially take the bus, but how reliable is that?

Thanks!

Yes you probably would need a car. There are busses, but I'm not sure if they would run where you need to go.

Here's the link to the bus system; it looks like they have route maps online

You'll definitely need a car. Phoenix is sprawling metropolitan area with horrible public transportation.

What site offers a naturopathic specialty????

If your rotation would fall between mid-April and mid-November, expect it to be exceedingly uncomfortably hot outside... especially while dressed in professional attire. Now think about sitting at a bus-stop for 15 minutes, waiting for a transfer, getting nice and swampy from the hyperhidrosis.....


....yep, get a car.
