* Pathobiology PhD: The Pathobiology program welcomed five incoming students this autumn.  They came from Michigan, Seattle and even Nairobi.  Their backgrounds range from studying in an interdisciplinary program at Evergreen to obtaining a Masters in Public Health from Oregon Health and Science University.
* Global Health Pathway:  There are currently 98 UW medical students in the Global Health Pathway certificate program. These students are a combination of second-fourth year students from across the Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho (WWAMI) region. In June, 21 medical students graduated with the Pathway in June 2012. The total number of graduates since 2006 is 79. We hosted a kick-off for medical students Oct. 23 and anticipate that at least 20 first-year medical students will apply to the Pathway.
