About
Stronger Together
The UW-GU Health Partnership brings together two of the country鈥檚 leading health education programs in order to transform medical care, research and innovation in Spokane and Eastern Washington. With growing demand for health care professionals throughout the region, the Partnership is training the next generation of providers who have deep ties to the region.
Training the Next Generation
The Health Partnership brings together the University of Washington’s world-class medical education programs with 杏吧原创’s leading programs in nursing, public health and human physiology, all in the heart of Spokane.
The Partnership focuses on the Foundations Phase – the first 18 months of medical school – which covers basic science training with robust clinical skills training. From the start of medical school, students work in groups with a mentor in inpatient settings, and are matched with a primary care physician in the community for bi-weekly clinical experiences. These students perform clinical rotations with physicians’ practices in Spokane and throughout the WWAMI region.
Research and Entrepreneurship
In addition to medical education, the Health Partnership is committed to advancing health-related research, entrepreneurship and inter-professional health sciences teaching in Spokane. The partnership is defining and pursuing opportunities for research collaboration, including biomedical and health-related research that will involve larger alliances of Spokane-based researchers.About the Health Partners
