Congratulations to fourth-year medical student Chantelle Roberts, who matched into the Urology Residency at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center during the specialty’s competitive early match.❤️🤍

“Urology is a perfect blend of continuity of care and surgery,” Roberts shared. “The specialty is innovative and dynamic, with the opportunity to manage complex disease while improving everyday functioning for patients.”

Roberts joins four other future Coug Docs from the Class of 2026 who matched into residency through the Military Match in December.

The majority of the class will discover where they’ll continue their training on Match Day, March 20. We can’t wait to celebrate the next step in their journey toward becoming independently practicing physicians!

👏 Help us congratulate Chantelle in the comments!

Clear communication is essential to safe, compassionate care.

At the College of Medicine, students and faculty are working together to reduce language barriers in health care settings by expanding access to certified medical interpreters.

A recent feature in The Spokesman-Review highlighted a collaborative initiative led by medical students Carmella Crooks and Victoria Caldera. Motivated by their own experiences translating in clinical environments, they are working to increase the number of certified medical interpreters in Washington, helping ensure patients receive accurate information and equitable care.

Read more about their inspiring work and the impact they hope to make in communities across our state.

Today we honor the legacy of Elson S. Floyd, born February 29, 1956—a visionary leader, nationally respected advocate for affordable higher education, and the 10th President of Washington State University.

Dr. Floyd founded Washington’s first community-based medical school with a bold vision: expanding access to care and improving the health and well-being of Washingtonians.

“Washington State University has worked to serve the needs of our state, nation, and world for 125 years, and successful development of a medical school is one more way for us to improve the health and well-being of Washingtonians.”

— President Elson S. Floyd, PhD

Today, we reflect with gratitude on his leadership and the lasting impact of his vision. ❤️

WSU medical students are advancing health research on a national platform.
Students recently presented—and will soon present—research focused on reducing disparities in emergency care.

Megan Mattappally and Katie McCune (MS2) shared findings on disparities in bystander and EMS naloxone administration at the 2026 annual meeting of the National Association of Emergency Medical Services Physicians in Tampa. Their project team included Teaghan Cowles, Haneul Ryou, Lauren Lee, and Hannah Carlan, MPA.

Next month, Olivia Willis (MS2) and Victoria Caldera (MS2) will present at the western regional meeting of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine in Los Angeles, highlighting differences in emergency department care for abdominal pain and disparities in appendicitis management.

Supervised by Jamie Kennel, PhD, MAS, director of health equity education and acting regional medical campus dean for Vancouver, these projects reflect our commitment to optimal, high-quality care for all communities.

Join us in congratulating these students and their mentors! 🎉

The Internal Medicine Residency–Everett community stepped out of the clinical setting and into the creative spotlight on Feb. 4 for an “Arts in Medicine” celebration.

Residents, faculty, and staff shared their passions through a talent show, arts and crafts, martial arts demonstrations, poetry, music, handmade artwork, and even a little magic, highlighting the many dimensions of the people behind the white coats.🐾❤️

The event also featured a silent auction supporting the resident well-being event fund, reinforcing a shared commitment to caring for those who care for others.

Congratulations to all who participated for demonstrating that clinical excellence and creativity go hand in hand.🤝
