As part of a $9.5 million, five-year U.S. grant to the University of Nairobi to expand medical students’ education to 12 peripheral sites in Kenya, a delegation from Nairobi toured UW medical sites in Spokane and Boise. A contingent from Nairobi came to the region May 12-20 for a deep dive into the WWAMI Program, a 40-year-old partnership of the UW School of Medicine and Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. Its core tenet holds that medical students need to learn medicine where it is practiced – in the community, not just in an urban, academic hospital setting.
