Montana State University hopes to expand WWAMI with the hope of keeping more doctors in state.

Montana State University http://www.montana.edu/ officials will ask the Montana Board of Regents to greatly expand the state’s participation in a program that educates medical students with the hope of keeping more doctors in state.

The regents, who are meeting in Bozeman Thursday and Friday, will hear a proposal to expand WWAMI http://uwmedicine.washington.edu/Education/WWAMI/Pages/default.aspx (WHAM’-ee), a partnership among Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, Idaho and the University of Washington in Seattle. They are not expected to act on the proposal yet.

Since it began in 1973, 20 Montana students have been admitted each year. They spend their first year of medical study at MSU in Bozeman, and then they go to UW for a year before spending their third and fourth years at clinical clerkships in Montana hospitals.
