University of Idaho and University of Washington School of Medicine have a proud 37-year partnership for medical education and research in Idaho
- Through the WWAMI Medical Education Program, Idaho is already partnered with the #1 medical school for primary care and rural physician training (15 years running) and the #1 public medical school for total research funding ($1 billion in 2007)
- An unbeaten record of success: 50 percent of Idaho’s WWAMI graduates set up practice in Idaho; the national return rate for all other medical schools is just 39 percent
- When you add the other WWAMI graduates from Montana, Washington and Alaska who have set up practice in Idaho, the state’s return on investment goes up to 70 percent
