About the Event
For nearly 50 years, Idaho WWAMI has provided accessible, world-class medical education through a partnership between the University of Idaho and the University of Washington School of Medicine. Idaho ranks 49th in the U.S. for the number of primary care doctors per capita, and WWAMI's hands-on clinical experiences for students are essential to growing the next generation of rural physicians in the state. More than 50% of Idaho WWAMI graduates return to practice in Idaho.
Join us for a candid discussion about the need to grow the Gem State's physician workforce, Idaho WWAMI's impact on our economy, as well as the experiences of medical students and young alumni physicians now mentoring the next generation of Idaho doctors during the pandemic.
Panel:
Dr. Jaclyn Cooperrider, Idaho WWAMI alumnus and graduate of Eagle High School, now working at the Family Medicine Residency of Idaho and Idaho Sports Medicine Institute.
