UW medical education program invests in critical expansion

(AP) — The University of Wyoming is renovating its facilities to accommodate second-year medical students who have previously gone to the University of Washington for their second year of study as part of a multi-state medical education program.

The Laramie Boomerang reports (http://bit.ly/2mt2JFW) that the two schools are in the program with schools from Alaska, Montana and Idaho, with the goal of providing medical education in northwestern states without independent medical schools.
