Survey response rate grows to 66 percent – thank you!
Here is a message from Sara Kim, Ph.D., associate dean for Educational Quality Improvement:
This week’s increase in the survey response rate from 66 percent to 68 percent was contributed by the following cohorts: Seattle (57 percent vs.55 percent), Spokane (67 percent vs. 65 percent), and Alaska (70 percent vs. 60 percent). We still welcome input from all of you including Wyoming and Montana students who met the goal of 80 percent and Idaho students who are 1 percentage point away from the 80 percent mark.
For those of you who started the survey, you can return to the same link and pick up from where you left off. The customized survey link is emailed directly to you every Tuesday afternoon from eqi@uw.edu.
Here is what you could win in the raffle:
- 1 Amazon Kindle ($100)
- 2 Amazon Fire Tablets ($60)
- 2 Portable Chargers ($50)
- 1 pair of Wireless Earbuds ($50)
- 3 Portable Stanley Adventure Travel Tumblers ($30)
Career Advising Student Advisory Board Tip of the Month
No matter what type of Triple I project you’re doing this summer, it may be possible to share it at a conference – for example, the Western Student and Resident Medical Research Forum (WSMRF) — and/or get it published! This even includes non-traditional research options, the Rural Underserved Opportunities Program (RUOP and Global Health Immersion Program (GHIP).
Let your mentors know you’re trying to do valuable and presentable work, ideally with some quantitative and qualitative data (e.g., surveys before and after your project). Presenting your work looks great on a CV! There is a small amount of funding that may be available for travel (keep an eye on this page for updates).

Special repeated notice: Action required for disability accommodations for clerkship locations (If needed)
Students who require clerkship location accommodations to manage their personal medical conditions/disabilities must apply for and be approved by the university’s Disability Resources for Students (DRS) office prior to June 30. Because it can take two to five weeks, sometimes longer, to be approved for accommodation with DRS, you should start the process as soon as possible (and no later than June 16).
- If you are not currently registered with DRS, please fill out a “new student application” and submit your documentation via the DRS services website.
- If you are already receiving accommodation through DRS and want to discuss clerkship location, please schedule an appointment with Kowan Russell, uwdrs@uw.edu.
Additional information about the steps for requesting accommodation is outlined on the UW DRS “Getting Started” website.
