WWAMI offers Montana med students a chance to stay in state

Universities in Montana are one step closer to making medical school a completely in-state option due to an expansion in the amount of training offered by Montana hospitals.

Five states – Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho – are participating in the WWAMI program http://www.uwmedicine.org/Education/WWAMI/ , a partnership between the University of Washington School of Medicine and the states. The program offers a number of things, including charging the in-state tuition of whichever school the student is studying in at the time.

A major purpose of the program is to allow students to do class work and part of their clerkships – job shadows of medical professionals – in their home states.
