Idaho students admitted to the UWSOM spend their first year at the University of Idaho WWAMI site in Moscow, Idaho together with 20 students from the Washington State University WWAMI site for a combined class of 38. Classes are taught on both campuses with faculty from both UI and WSU. Students study the same medical courses offered at the UW School of Medicine but the smaller class size at UI/WSU enables professors to give additional assistance and attention to students.
