Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine Community Hosting and Homestay looking for hosts

The Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine was founded on the vision of “inspiring people to solve problems in challenging health care environments.” To help realize that vision, the college is committed to developing connections between our students and the community in which they will train.

In order to welcome, support, and orient our students, we are looking for families and individuals in the local communities of Everett, the Tri‑Cities, and Vancouver who would be willing to host a student during the six Clinical Campus Weeks from September 2022 through April 2024.

Homestay hosts in Everett, Tri‑Cities, and Vancouver will be assigned a student and will provide housing for them during each clinical campus week. In addition, they will be asked to plan activities or events, as schedules allow, during the Clinical Campus Weeks to introduce their student to members of the community.

For more information please contact Tina Sowl at tina.sowl@wsu.edu.
