WWAMI PRO Honorees

WWAMI PRO Awards Honor Professionalism

WWAMI Pro is a medical student-driven recognition program, created to empower students to honor professionalism in the University of Washington (UW) School of Medicine community. UW medical students can recognize any individual who contributes to a positive, respectful, and supportive learning environment. The WWAMI Pro Awards program is administered by the Committee for Continuous Professionalism Improvement (CPI).

The UW School of Medicine is committed to the promotion of professionalism throughout our community. To support this, the CPI was created in 2007. It is charged with overseeing and promoting professionalism throughout the medical school and at all teaching sites.

WWAMI Pro recognitions are announced at least once per year. Current medical students can submit nominations online here. To learn more about the CPI, please visit the CPI website. Please follow this link for a list of all WWAMI Pro Honorees to date.
