Guide Faculty
In Spokane we have about a dozen of clinical professors who teach throughout our block, thread, and theme curriculum as well as a number of professors from Gonzaga University and Eastern Washington university. All clinical professors teach in small group sessions throughout the blocks. These are case based sessions on a topic covered in block. One of our strengths as a WWAMI site is in our faculty who have serve in many roles through out the curriculum while students are in foundations. Each block is developed through a collaborative process with a block directors and the block site leads working together with other units to develop each block.
