In this role, Dr. Eckert helps develop increased clinical opportunities for UWSOM Spokane students during the clinical training portion of their medical education—years three and four.
Geoff Jones, M.D., UWSOM Assistant Clinical Dean for Eastern Washington has added to his responsibilities the further development of clinical opportunities within the Providence Health Care system as well as supporting other clinical training sites in Spokane.
These new roles came about with the transition of Judy Swanson, M.D., who now serves as the Program Director for Spokane’s Transitional Year Residency Program.
