FEATURED HUSKIES FROM THE 3RD LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT

"My time at the WWAMI Spokane site has centered around meaningful connections with my faculty, classmates, and the local community. My goal has been to bring the class together in and out of the classroom and make a space where everyone feels welcome and excited. Whether it has been through playing sports, planning events, or daily interactions, these connections have shaped my experience and who I am. WWAMI Spokane provides a unique space to learn the importance of mentorship and personal connection in medicine. I look forward to doing the same for future generations of 91探花medical students."
