PNWU and MedMan Form Collaboration
PNWU is located in Yakima, WA
Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences and Medical Management (MedMan), a medical group management business based in Boise, Idaho, have strikingly similar missions – to improve and create access for quality healthcare throughout the Northwest, particularly in rural and underserved communities.
MedMan achieves this by managing medical groups (hospital and doctor owned practices); PNWU is achieving this through programs that increase the number of physicians practicing family medicine in rural communities.
For this reason, PNWU and MedMan are teaming up to provide College of Osteopathic students with core rotation and residency sites in MedMan managed clinics and hospitals. Currently, MedMan has clinics and a site location in every community PNWU anticipates sending students for core rotations.
“There is incredible synergy between PNWU and MedMan,” Vice President for Advancement and Development Gretchen Eickmeyer said. “We have been looking for this kind of a partnership because it integrates students into the communities they are practicing medicine in. Our students have the opportunity to go from their core rotations into residencies and ultimately practice medicine in the communities they have been immersed in.”
The College of Osteopathic Medicine requires core rotations in family medicine, general internal medicine, emergency medicine, pediatrics, general surgery, women’s health (OB/GYN), osteopathic manual medicine, radiology and anesthesiology.
When I joined the MedMan team this past January, one of the interview questions Jim asked me was, “Are you comfortable flying on a small, 4-seater plane?” I’ve always been pretty comfortable flying, so I said yes while wondering in the back of my mind exactly how small he meant. Now, six months later, I’ve flown twice on Columbus (our nickname for the Columbia 400 we hire when needed) and I can say with confidence that it’s the only way to fly!
