Up to 40% of dementia cases may be preventable, but only if action happens early.💭

A new healthy aging research initiative from the Washington State University Granger Cobb Institute for the Business of Aging is helping communities get ahead of cognitive decline while preparing future professionals to lead compassionate advance care planning conversations.

Backed by a $50,000 gift from Propel Insurance, the institute awarded two $10,000 grants to projects in partnership with the WSU Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine, focused on:

🐾 Free community screenings to identify modifiable cognitive risk factors such as cardiovascular health, sleep, nutrition, and hearing loss.

🐾 End‑of‑life care and advance care planning training that equips students across health and aging disciplines to lead meaningful conversations centered on individual values.

Together, this work represents a shift from reactive to preventative care. This will help strengthen the workforce, improve outcomes, and elevate the field of aging services.

Spring has sprung!

MS1s and MS2s of the College of Medicine gathered together for a Spring-themed Med Prom on April 4th, where the MED Learning Commons turned into a dance floor that night.

It was filled with delicious food, a variety of upbeat songs, and time with friends and loved ones.

Despite busy and hectic schedules, these med students were able to have a blast and recharge with a night of fun and community!

Can rural training experiences help bring more surgeons to underserved communities? 🤔

New research says yes! 🎉

Student-led research from the College of Medicine, published in The American Surgeon, highlights how rural clinical rotations can shape future surgeons’ career paths.

Medical students Katherine Slack and Veronica Harmon interviewed WSU graduates who are in surgical residency and every participant shared positive experiences from their rural rotations.

From gaining hands-on experience to building strong community connections, these opportunities are helping prepare the next generation of physicians and may inspire more to serve where they’re needed most.

This important work was presented at national and regional conferences, helping spark conversations about how medical schools can better address physician shortages.🥼
