Named after the university’s late president, Elson S. Floyd, who believed WSU, as the state’s land-grant institution, should train doctors for all of Washington.

OUR GOALS

• To expand WSU’s research enterprise with a goal of improving human health and creating new economic opportunities
• To create service learning options so that students receive opportunities to practice in a variety of settings

OUR PROMISES

• We will help students develop personalized pathways through medical school so they get the education that’s best for them.
