Frequently Asked Questions
The Rent vs. Mortgage Analogy Why should Idaho create a medical education program? Doesn’t buying seats do the job? Providing medical education is a lot like putting a roof over your head. You can rent or you can buy . One provides shelter on a month-to-month basis ; the other adds the benefits of autonomy and equity . One is buying a service; one is making an investment. In times of economic downturn, growing medical education (professors, staff, clinicians and students) in state makes even more sense and will have a substantial economic payoff.
Idaho’s Matured Health Care Education WWAMI has worked up to this point. Why not expand it? We have matured since that arrangement began more than 30 years ago. During that time, Idaho has made investments in its own health profession programs and partnerships. We have what it takes to build our own program now. Students who complete their education here are more likely to set up practice here helping to improve one of the lowest physician-to-population ratios in the nation.
Cost to Start Up What would it cost to start our own medical education program?
Roughly $11 million of one-time funding , and about $21 million in interim financing. This would allow for:
hiring some additional faculty
a dean and other administrators
investing in some facility expansion and equipment
Interim financing is the funding required to pay upfront operating costs, separate from startup costs. This financing could come from any combination of three sources:
state funding
gifts and donations
revenue bonds
Getting Accreditation What does it take for medical program accreditation?
A medical education program requires:
faculty to teach
administrators to operate
locations for students to undertake:
classroom learning
clinical experiences
The accrediting agency estimated this model could be in place in Idaho by 2012 and ready to accept 60 medical school students by 2014 .
Ongoing Funding What would it cost to continue to fund the medical education program? If students were charged the same tuition as WWAMI currently charges, state support would total $6.6 million annually for 60 students per class, with a total enrollment of 240 students. Students could bear the full cost by paying a $46,952 annual tuition , or pay half the expense at $23,476 annual tuition. Of course, other proportions of student-to-state cost burden could be proposed.
ISU as a Lead Institution Why should ISU lead the state in a medical education program? Education in the health professions (which includes medical education) is ISU’s State Board of Education (SBOE) assigned area of both unique and primary emphasis in the state. (BSU has public policy and urban regional planning; UI has agriculture, architecture, law, and natural resources.) ISU offers 75% of the health professions degrees offered in Idaho . BSU offers 16%, and UI offers less than 9%.
Idaho’s Educational Planning How has the State Board of Education indicated Idaho State University as the right institution to lead the medical education program effort? The SBOE asked for medical-education-experienced applicants when hiring for ISU’s current presidency . Each of the four finalists had medical-education experience. The SBOE also included a medical degree (MD) in ISU’s eight-year plan.
The Role of Idaho State University in Delivering Health Professions and Medical Education
Idaho State University’s Statewide Mission
State Board of Education-approved statewide health professions mission
“ The university … has specific responsibilities in delivering programs in the health professions.
"Idaho State University will formulate its academic plan and generate programs with primary emphasis on health professions, the related biological and physical sciences, and teacher preparation.”
SBOE-approved eight-year plan includes MD degree
Begin offering in 2010-2011 academic year (p. 58)

Growth of Medical Education
The original site visit team in 1971 wrote, “Idaho State University … appears to have the greatest long-range potential” as a suitable academic site for a medical education program
University of Washington has no plan for a transition to an Idaho-based medical education program
A medical education program in Idaho will include efforts to collaborate with University of Washington and other institutions in research, clinical faculty collaboration and other endeavors

Accrediting a Medical Degree Program
Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) accredits medical degree programs in the U.S. and Canada
Accredits only complete medical programs and not tracks
Program is responsible for students from start to completion of MD degree
Accreditation is not based on research funding, but on quality of the program
LCME Accreditation Stages for a Medical Degree Program
Pre-accreditation (2010-12): 1-3 years
Prior to accepting students
Hiring of administration
Business plan approval
First Year Enrollment (2014)
60 students
First Graduating Class (2018)
Total enrollment: 240 students
60 MDs (per year)

How a Medical Education Program Will Benefit Practicing Health Care Professionals and Organizations
For Practicing Professionals: What Med Ed Can Build
Idaho referral network across health care providers for education, research and services
Stronger political alliances to improve health care
Idaho Academy of Medicine to recognize Idaho advances in rural medicine
Idaho clinical faculty with the greatest retention and recruitment of physicians who desire teaching, better workload distribution and research
Improved reputations and recognition
Endowments, clinical trial access and other resources to improve clinical salaries and facilities
Stronger base for expanded residencies and opportunities to sub-specialize within scopes of practice
network for better IT and medical record system, reducing overhead for private practice groups
Enhanced Opportunities for Practicing Professionals
Practice across state lines by building political alliances in rural border areas for coverage
Qualification for clinical trials from government and private industry
Participation in entrepreneurial efforts
Build preventive medicine programs that improve healthcare and reduce emergency room needs
Build rural Idaho extended care by networking with physicians and other health professionals
For Practicing Professionals: What Med Ed Can Enhance
Provide an Idaho source of continuing medical and health professions education
Partnership access for building new infrastructure from government, philanthropy and/or private sources through grants, contracts and/or donations
Get national attention/recognition to invest in Idaho medical opportunities and programs
Federal funding for health professions which requires medical education as a component
Strengthen the quality of existing health professions programs
Provide for structured interdisciplinary education opportunities as recommended by the Institute of Medicine

The medical school business volume multiplier effect is 2.3, meaning that for every dollar directly spent by a medical school, an additional $1.30 is indirectly generated for a total impact of $2.30.
This is driven by keeping doctors, medical students and their spending in Idaho’s state boundaries.
This additional economic benefit will occur for Idaho every year.
