The role of a physician is a privilege and a responsibility, and we teach students from their first day of medical school an ethos of professionalism and earning patients’ trust. As students progress they expand and refine their skills, gain knowledge and apply what they’ve learned to deliver a high level of care with compassion and grace.
Partnering to help create healthy, vibrant communities in eastern Washington, we are focused on three interdisciplinary areas: Teaching and Learning; Service and Leadership; and Discovery and Research.
UW in partnership with GU is educating a new generation of healthcare professionals to address the physician shortage and help the region thrive. Since 2016, 339 medical students have completed their first- and second-year medical education on the Gonzaga University campus. Where are they now?
