A few favorite moments from our Tribal Health Scholars team’s recent trip to Inchelium, WA. ✨

Katie and Sarah connected with current and prospective THS scholars at the Inchelium Career Fair, and had the inspiring opportunity to tour the local clinic.

After taking the ferry back across the river, they caught up with the Native Project out of Spokane, where they toured the brand new Behavioral Health building and learned about the wonderful work the Native Project is doing for youth.

The College of Medicine is committed to supporting learners who aspire to become physicians.

Nmryaqs (pronounced en-MURR-ee-Ahks), meaning “medicine road” in the Spokane dialect of Interior Salish, is a free 10-month post-baccalaureate pathway program designed for aspiring physicians who are enrolled Tribal members.

The program supports the recruitment, training, retention, and success of future medical students. Scholars participate in the program from September through June on the WSU Spokane campus, with relocation support available for those coming to Spokane or surrounding Washington counties.

Participants who successfully complete the program receive conditional acceptance to the WSU Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine MD program.

Each year, up to four scholars who are enrolled members of federally recognized Tribes and meet the college’s Washington residency or ties requirement are selected for this opportunity.

Learn more about how Nmryaqs is helping build the next generation of physicians and strengthening pathways to medicine.
