WWAMI is an enduring partnership between the UW School of Medicine and the states of Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. The WWAMI program provides access to publicly supported, community-based medical education across the five-state region and helps provide a primary-care workforce for rural and underserved areas of the Northwest. Its offices oversee clinical medical education for the School of Medicine within their regions, providing support services for the local clerkships and students rotating among them. WWAMI serves not only medical students but also students in K–12, college students, medical school graduates in residency and physicians in community practice.
