Montana State University has awarded a Pure Gold honor to Kayla Ouert, Program Manager for the WWAMI Medical Education Program at MSU Bozeman (Gold is one of MSU’s colors).

People who nominated Ouert for the award, including Martin Teintze, Ph.D., Director of the program, wrote:

“Kayla has been doing an extraordinary job as WWAMI Program Manager. She is incredibly efficient and talented. As the only staff member here, she has to wear many hats: managing the students’ enrollments at two universities, scheduling, faculty appointments, budgeting, payroll, classroom IT support, and so much more.”

“Not only is she instrumental in the day-to-day operations of Montana WWAMI and ensures that a complicated program with many moving parts runs seamlessly, she provides academic and curriculum advising, helps coordinate the many extracurricular activities the students are involved in, and is always available for sound advice and reassurance during the many stressful events and exams throughout medical school.”
