    Students in the WAMI regionalized medical program showed comparable academic performance regardless of whether they completed basic science coursework at remote sites or the main University of Washington campus. This finding supports the effectiveness of distributed medical education.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Curriculum Evaluation
    • Regionalized Healthcare Programs

    Background:

    • The WAMI (Washington, Alaska, Montana, Idaho) program regionalizes medical education.
    • Evaluating the academic impact of remote basic science coursework is crucial for distributed medical training.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To test the hypothesis that remote basic science education in the WAMI program does not negatively impact student academic performance compared to the central University of Washington School of Medicine (UWSM).

    Main Methods:

    • Student academic performance was assessed using common tests in Anatomy/Histology, Biochemistry, Mechanisms of Physiology, and Epidemiology.
    • Performance was also evaluated through subsequent coursework at UWSM, mini-tests, and National Board of Medical Examiners Part I exams.
    • Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to compare performance metrics.

    Main Results:

    • No statistically significant difference in academic performance was found between students educated at remote WAMI sites and those at the UWSM.
    • The null hypothesis, stating no difference in academic performance, could not be rejected at the 0.05 significance level.

    Conclusions:

    • The basic science curriculum within the WAMI regionalized medical education program demonstrates comparable effectiveness across remote and central training sites.
    • This evaluation supports the viability and academic integrity of distributed medical education models.
