Dean gives thanks to rural communities welcoming students

Dear Editor:

At this time of Thanksgiving, we pause to give thanks to those who enrich our lives. At the University of Washington School of Medicine in partnership with Gonzaga University, we are especially grateful for the growing community of friends, professionals and partners in Waitsburg, Dayton, Clarkston and Pomeroy who help us deliver top-ranked medical education every day.

Thank you to the Waitsburg, Dayton, Clarkston and Pomeroy communities and physicians for warmly welcoming our medical students and enriching their education experience. You are instrumental in training the high quality physicians that we will all need in the coming years, and we are extremely grateful.

Together, we are working to make our region healthier.

In gratitude,

Geoff Jones, M.D.

Assistant Clinical Dean
