WWAMI medical students must work in Montana or pay higher fees

Starting next year, Montana medical students entering the WWAMI doctor-training program will have to either promise to work in the state for three years or else pay $31,000 in higher fees.

The new law, Senate Bill 341 passed by the 2017 Legislature, will require WWAMI medical students to promise they’ll return to work in Montana within a year after finishing their training, or else pay higher fees.

The new fee requirement will begin with the class entering in the fall of 2018.
