University of Washington Program
About This Program
We serve a unique cohort of children from rural Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Oregon. Unique program aspects include a night call system staffed by off-service fellow/faculty members, robust physiology core curriculum/didactics, subsized coursework (certificate/master's level programs), and free meals, parking, and gym access. We are highly committed to creating an environment inclusive to all people, patients and families regardless of background or life experiences.
