WWAMI AHEC Scholars application is live! – posted 6/12

Hi all,

We are excited to be going into Year 2 of the inter-professional  WWAMI AHEC Scholars program! Currently, we have 101 students across the two states of Washington and Idaho. We are seeking to expand the program to include students from Boise State and Western Washington University, to be overseen by their local AHECs and governed by the UW WWAMI AHEC program office.

Here is the link for the UW Seattle campus application: https://redcap.iths.org/surveys/?s=8CWM8H4DXF&site=1
Here is the link for the WA online cohort application: https://redcap.iths.org/surveys/?s=8CWM8H4DXF&site=2

The program is two years and requires two didactic courses (can be online or in-person/on campus) and 40 hours per year of community/experiential/clinical work in rural or underserved sites. AHEC is all about increasing the workforce in rural and underserved areas. This program provides students with skills and experiences to better prepare them for work in these areas. Most of all, it is an inter-professional program (IPE) that allows students to learn about other disciplines and develop team-based learning and skills that they can take into practice. Last year, in Seattle, we had medicine students, nursing, pharmacy, PT/OT, communication disorders, PA (MEDEX) and N.D. students from Bastyr. Students were excited to be there and were amazing! Classes are taught in the evening to best accommodate student schedules. Students can take the courses for UW elective credit or no credit/no cost.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
