WRITE
WWAMI Rural Integrated Training Experience
The WRITE Program is a clinical medical education program developed by the University of Washington School of Medicine as a means to help meet the need for rural primary care physicians in the WWAMI region. The success of this unique program is due to the integration of community involvement, continuity of experience, and a proven curriculum. The Program is designed to give selected third-year medical students an appropriate mix of ambulatory and hospital experience during a 20-week clinical education experience at a rural primary care teaching site. The intent of the experience is to allow students interested in primary care to:
- become intimately familiar with the day-to-day workings of a rural community practice
- to become a member of a rural practice team
- to develop a continuity experience with a patient panel
- to become socially integrated into a rural community
- to meet educational milestones in a unique teaching environment
- to instill confidence and professionalism
- to develop the ability to become independent learners and problem solvers
