UW School of Medicine - Gonzaga University Health Partnership

First-year UWSOM students presented at the annual Anatomy Capstone Ceremony last Friday. The ceremony invites students to present their course findings and acknowledge with great reverence the donors who have contributed to their medical education. In honor of the donors and their families, students planted a tree outside the UW-GU Health Partnership Building.

Exciting news! This generous gift and the scholarships it supports will expand opportunities for future physicians and strengthen rural medical education throughout the Pacific Northwest.

It was an honor to celebrate our Spokane students at the UW School of Medicine Physician’s Oath & Hooding Ceremony as they officially transitioned from medical students to physicians.

From receiving their white coats to securing residency placements and reaching today’s milestone, it has been inspiring to witness this class grow.

We look forward to seeing the meaningful impact you will make in medicine and in communities across the country.

Some of our University of Washington School of Medicine - WWAMI students had the opportunity to visit the On Track Academy and engage with the Youth Wellness Zone.

A program initiated through the partnership of the UW CoLab and THEZONE, the Youth Wellness Zone is specifically meant to enlist young people in the community in helping define wellness, identifying areas for improvement, and innovating ways to directly improve individual mental wellbeing.

During their visit, our medical students listened to the youth discuss their concerns over va**ng and its growing popularity among teens today. There was some discussion in how healthcare physicians can be a better resource for youth struggling with substance abuse. It was truly an educational experience for all those that attended.
