Specialty Interest Groups

Involvement in Specialty Interest Groups is an important component of meaningful career exploration. These groups provide opportunities at UWSOM and in the community to engage with specialties and practice fields, patient populations and health equity initiatives, etc. Student groups connect you to service learning and leadership opportunities and provide networking opportunities with physicians, residents and community members who have expertise in a particular field.

Opportunities for Involvement
Specialty Interest Groups across WWAMI

Some interest groups have regional branch chapters at WWAMI sites, and others may operate only at a specific regional site.
