WWAMI and WICHE Programs - North Central Montana AHEC

WWAMI and WICHE Programs
Montana participates in three professional student
exchange programs that offer educational
opportunities at specific, out-of-state professional
programs in select fields of study that are not
available in Montana: WICHE Professional Student
Exchange (PSEP), WWAMI Medical Education
Program, and the Minnesota Dental Program.
WICHE (Western Interstate Commission for Higher
Education) supports fields of study for Montana
residents including: allopathic medicine (MD),
osteopathic medicine (DO), veterinary medicine,
dentistry, optometry, occupational therapy, and
podiatry. WWAMI (a cooperative program of
the University of Washington School of Medicine
and the states of Wyoming, Alaska, Montana
and Idaho) is a program specific to allopathic
medicine and the Minnesota Dental Program is
specific to the field of dentistry.

Through these exchange programs, sending
states like Montana pay a support fee on behalf
of each funded student which helps to provide
access to professional school and covers a
portion of the cost of education. The number
of students funded is determined by Legislative
appropriation. Exchange students receive
preference in admission and if supported by
state funding, will pay a reduced level of tuition;
generally resident tuition in public institutions or
reduced standard tuition at private schools.
