Policy:
Pacific Northwest University COM third- and fourth-year curriculum delivery occurs through the regional sites located in a five-state target area of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington.
In the second year of the curriculum, students will be assigned to a regional site through the site selection process. Regional site placement procedures are designed to support the mission of PNWU-COM thus meeting the health care workforce needs of the rural and medically underserved in the Northwest. As such, students may be placed in regional sites that strengthen PNWU-COM’s mission rather than in areas of their preference.
Students who do not comply with the policy, expectations, and procedures for regional site placement or misrepresent themselves and/or their situations to gain more favorable consideration may be subject to disciplinary action.
