Linda Hyman - Piloting Montana's medical future

As MSU's Vice Provost for the Division of Health Sciences, and the head of the Montana WWAMI Medical Education Program, Linda Hyman directs students at MSU during their medical school careers. The WWAMI program is a cooperative program of the University of Washington School of Medicine and the states of Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho, which lack stand-alone medical schools. Montana's WWAMI medical students spend their first year on the MSU campus before continuing at the University of Washington.
