Medical Specialty Programs
Graduate Studies
In some specialized fields of study, Idaho has too few students to warrant the establishment of expensive programs. In order to provide Idahoans a full range of educational programs at a reasonable cost, the state has established programs in cooperation with other states in the areas of medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry.
University of Washington School of Medicine
The Washington-Wyoming-Alaska-Montana-Idaho (WWAMI) Regional Medical Education Program allows a limited number of Idaho students the opportunity to study medicine using the combined resources of the University of Idaho and the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle.
University of Idaho and WSU Cooperative Program in Veterinary Medicine
The University of Idaho and Washington State University Cooperative Program in Veterinary Medicine provides a limited number of Idaho residents the opportunity to study for a career in veterinary medicine using the resources of both the University of Idaho and the Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Students apply through the Veterinary Medical College Application Service (VMCAS) by selecting Washington State University as their program choice.
Idaho Dental Education Program
The Idaho Dental Education Program (IDEP) provides financial support for a limited number of Idaho students admitted to the School of Dentistry at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska
University of Utah School of Medicine
A limited number of Idaho residents are admitted to the University of Utah School of Medicine under an agreement with the University of Utah. Idaho partially subsidizes the cost of tuition and fees for each Idaho student admitted to the program.
