Today’s Missoula<\/strong> lies at the bottom of what once was\u00a0Glacial Lake Missoula, a 3,000-square-mile proglacial lake\u00a0which stretched from 60 miles (97\u00a0km) south and east of Missoula north to today’s\u00a0Flathead Lake\u00a0and west to Idaho’s\u00a0Lake Pend Oreille. Held in place by a glacial dam, this lake\u00a0drained and refilled repeatedly\u00a0over 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\u00a0Bitterroot Mountains,\u00a0Sapphire Range,\u00a0Garnet Range,\u00a0Rattlesnake Mountains, and Reservation Divide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Housing<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/a> <\/strong>to discuss further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
