WRITE Sites

WRITE Benefits the Rural Medical Community in a Variety of Ways

• Physicians who participate in the program may apply for and receive a University of Washington School of Medicine faculty appointment.
• WRITE provides an opportunity to showcase the community, thereby leading to greater physician recruitment.
• The medical community’s relationship with the University of Washington School of Medicine promotes a greater mutual understanding of each other’s respective roles.
• Faculty from the University of Washington School of Medicine travel to rural sites to offer consultation and give medical education presentations.
• The Dean’s Office, University of Washington School of Medicine, and the William Randolph Hearst Foundation support community-based rural medical education by providing funding to the WRITE sites to cover infrastructure expenses of the practice and travel for specific faculty development opportunities.
