TRUST | Targeted Rural Underserved Track

TRUST provides an exceptional educational experience to prepare students for future practice in underserved or rural communities.

After completing the TRUST admission process, TRUST scholars are matched with continuity communities in Idaho and benefit from the expertise of physician preceptors over the course of their medical school career. 

TRUST helps generate a physician workforce specifically trained for underserved areas. Involvement with existing UW programs, such as the Rural Underserved Opportunities Program (RUOP) and the WWAMI Rural Integrated Training Experience (WRITE), in addition to unique curricular elements, allow TRUST scholars to immerse themselves in the care of the underserved. 

For more information, please visit UW School of Medicine: TRUST

How Do I Apply?

Qualified University of Washington School of Medicine WWAMI applicants will have the opportunity to apply to the Idaho TRUST program within their secondary application materials. 

The secondary application is available only through the University of Washington School of Medicine (UWSOM).

The Application Process

Idaho TRUST applicants must submit all application materials, as with all University of Washington School of Medicine applicants, to the UWSOM Admissions Office by December 1. Materials received after this date will not be considered.

Interviews usually occur mid to late January. Please pay close attention to the information provided by UWSOM admissions once you have been selected for an interview.

Idaho TRUST Scholars will be notified of their admission status no later than one week after the TRUST interview. Applicants not accepted for the TRUST program may be considered for regular admission into the Idaho WWAMI program.

While TRUST Scholars preferences will be taken into account, the TRUST Selection Committee will make the final decision on continuity community site assignments in Idaho.
