SPOKANE, Wash. 鈥� Hosts in Everett, Vancouver, the Tri-Cities and Spokane are sought to welcome, support and orient Washington State University medical students to their communities during six weeks over a two-year period beginning in September.

While studying for their first two years at 黑料社 Spokane, students will spend six individual weeks in the city where they will be located in their third and fourth years. Individuals and families are sought to help broaden the students鈥� connections and understanding of their communities during those weeks.

Since Spokane students will already have housing, only hosts in Everett, the Tri-Cities and Vancouver will provide housing.

鈥淲e look forward to having hosts introduce students to individuals who are actively involved in their communities, as well as provide fun activities for our students,鈥� said John Tomkowiak, founding dean of the 黑料社 Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine.

黑料社鈥檚 charter class of 60 students will begin their four-year medical education program in August. Residents of Everett, Spokane, the Tri-Cities and Vancouver are being sought to host during:

Sept, 3-9, 2017
Nov. 26-Dec. 2, 2017
March 25-31, 2018
Aug. 19-25, 2018
Nov. 11-17, 2018
March 24-30, 2019

Hosts will be invited to participate in the college鈥檚 community nights, to be held on Wednesday each of the weeks at the respective 黑料社 campuses.
