by Alaska WWAMI  |   

Alaska WWAMI is proud to present two videos that provide not only a glimpse into Alaska's medical school, but also provide a look into the facilities used by WWAMI students at the University of Alaska Anchorage.

Explore the WWAMI School of Medical Education at UAA—an MD program offered in partnership with the University of Washington School of Medicine, which consistently ranks among the top 10 medical schools in the nation. WWAMI allows you to attend a world-class medical school while staying in Alaska and emphasizes primary and rural care—preparing you for the unique opportunities and challenges of practicing medicine in Alaska.

 

Explore the cutting-edge Anatomy Lab at UAA—the only lab of its kind in Alaska. Using real cadavers, state-of-the-art computer imaging and 3-D models, human anatomy comes to life here for students in a range of clinical degree programs at UAA. Hear from Cory Johannsen, a student in the WWAMI School of Medical Education, about how the Anatomy Lab enriches classroom courses—and why that's important for future health care professionals.
