How to Apply<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Qualified University of Washington applicants will have the opportunity to apply to the TRUST program within their\u00a0secondary application<\/a> materials following receipt and review of the AMCAS application. Unlike many medical schools, UWSOM does not request Secondary Applications automatically; applications are screened to determine if a Secondary Application will be requested. There is an optional section on the Secondary Application to apply to the TRUST program.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Deadline<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The application deadline for admission is\u00a0December 1.<\/strong> If you are interested in the program, we encourage you to apply through the regular admissions process and connect with our program. Materials will not be reviewed if submitted after the application deadline.<\/p>\n

TRUST Commitment Statement<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Upon completing the TRUST application, applicants will be asked to sign the following Commitment Statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand that I am agreeing to participate in the Targeted Rural Underserved Track (TRUST) Program at the University of Washington School of Medicine. If I am accepted into this program, I make a firm commitment as a TRUST Scholar to fully participate in and complete the requirements of the program. I understand the current learning plan for my entering year, and am aware of the opportunities afforded in the TRUST program. I understand that the TRUST program is intended as training for those medical students who fully intend to practice medicine in underserved rural or underserved small city locations. I understand that\u00a0if I am offered<\/strong>\u00a0admission into the TRUST program and\u00a0decline<\/strong>\u00a0this offer, I will\u00a0not<\/strong>\u00a0be offered admission to the UW School of Medicine for the same entering year. If I am\u00a0not<\/strong>\u00a0accepted into the TRUST program, my application\u00a0will still be considered<\/strong>\u00a0for admission into the regular medical school class for the same entering year.\u201d<\/p>\n
