The Arizona Telemedicine Program is a multidisciplinary clinical program of The University of Arizona Health Sciences Center. The program was created in 1996 at the initiation of the Arizona legislature to establish pilot projects demonstrating the efficacy of telemedicine in delivering better health care to Arizona's medically underserved rural areas.

Specifically, the Arizona legislature funded an eight site Arizona Rural Telemedicine Network as a general appropriation to The University of Arizona Health Sciences Center's operating budget. The Arizona legislature defines telemedicine as the use of computers, video imaging, fiber optics and telecommunications for diagnosis and treatment of persons in rural, geographically isolated communities and state institutions.

The program's goals are to demonstrate how telemedicine can improve rural health care in Arizona, particularly with the rising costs of health care leading to closure of critically needed hospitals and clinics in rural Arizona communities, and to offer a cost-effective alternative to expensive transportation and time delays for outside referrals from Arizona Department of Corrections institutions.
