A UW School of Medicine Program Administered by the Department of Family Medicine

The Targeted Rural and Underserved Track (TRUST) seeks to provide a continuous connection between underserved communities, medical education, and health professionals in our region. Our initial goal is to create a full-circle pipeline by guiding qualified students through a special curriculum that connects underserved communities in Washington and Montana to the University of Washington School of Medicine (UWSOM) and its network of affiliated residency programs in an effort to help meet the workforce needs of the region. As the program develops, we hope to expand its scope to include Wyoming, Alaska, and Idaho.

Information about TRUST:

  • To train University of Washington WWAMI medical students for careers working in rural and other underserved areas of Washington and Montana.
