WWAMI Pro Honorees

WWAMI Pro Recognitions Honor Professionalism

The University of Washington School of Medicine is committed to the promotion of professionalism throughout our teaching and learning community. The WWAMI Pro medical student-driven recognition program was created to empower students to honor professionalism in the WWAMI learning environment and capture moments in time when someone has gone above and beyond in providing a positive, respectful, and supportive learning environment.

Medical students are encouraged to recognize role models, mentors, and teachers in their midst. Throughout all phases of the curriculum, recognition can be directed towards any contributor to a student's learning environment, such as block faculty, physicians, residents & fellows, other healthcare providers and team members (physician assistants, pharmacists, nurses, social workers, etc.), and staff (office, custodial, food services, security, administrators, etc.).

Current medical students can submit individuals for recognition online here. WWAMI Pro recognitions are announced at least once per year.
