WWAMI: Wyoming's Path to Medicine
We Are Wyoming's Medical School
A Regional MD Program, Rooted in Wyoming
WWAMI is Wyoming’s medical school—a regional partnership with the University of Washington School of Medicine. The name stands for Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho—states that share a nationally recognized MD program. Each year, 20 Wyoming residents are selected to earn their Doctor of Medicine (MD) through a four-year curriculum identical to that at all WWAMI sites. Students complete the first 18 months at the University of Wyoming, then continue clinical training across the WWAMI region.
