PEDS 657 – Pediatric Clinical Clerkship – Missoula, MT


Today’s Missoula lies at the bottom of what once was Glacial Lake Missoula, a 3,000-square-mile proglacial lake which stretched from 60 miles (97 km) south and east of Missoula north to today’s Flathead Lake and west to Idaho’s Lake Pend Oreille. Held in place by a glacial dam, this lake drained and refilled repeatedly over 2,000 years during the past Ice Age. When the flood waters cleared, the resultant Missoula Valley became a geographic hub of five mountain valleys formed by the Bitterroot Mountains, Sapphire Range, Garnet Range, Rattlesnake Mountains, and Reservation Divide.

Credentialing

You will be contacted by the Montana Regional Office about required forms to complete and return 6-8 weeks before your rotation. Any questions can be directed to Judi Sullivan.

Additionally, students will receive a site e-mail notification prior to their arrival which will include housing placement, directions, attending assignments, etc. The email will also include an orientation schedule. Orientation occurs the first day of the clerkship. Any questions can be directed to Elizabeth Kelsey.

Housing

The provided housing for Missoula WWAMI students is either a three bedroom/one bath house or a five bedroom/two bath house. Both houses are centrally located to the University of Montana campus, walking distance of downtown Missoula and within a short drive of all clinical locations. No pets or smoking are allowed. The houses are fully furnished including a washer and dryer, linens, and kitchen utensils. We ask that mail be sent to the clerkship office, if possible, rather than directly to the house. Families can be accommodated on a case-by-case basis, please contact Elizabeth Kelsey to discuss further.

Transportation

A car or bicycle is required. Reimbursements can be submitted to GoWWAMI following your rotation.
