 Northwest TrackThe College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (COMP) has created a unique track for 30 qualified students per year. The Northwest Track (NWT) was established to meet the needs of physician groups, physician recruiters, and hospitals in the northwestern part of the United States seeking to hire graduates into their residency programs. States participating the the NWT are Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. Candidates must commit to participate in clinical clerkships in NWT states. Students eligible to apply for the NWT must:
- Be a permanent resident of a NWT state, or
- Have a mailing address in a NWT state, or
- Have completed a bachelor;s or graduate degree from a college or university in a NWT state, or
- Be currently pursuing a degree from a college or university in a NWT state
We believe by working collaboratively with undergraduate institutions, hospitals, physicians, and graduate medical education (GME) programs in the northwest, COMP can help meet the special needs of these communities by helping to train physicians who are both excellent clinicians and dedicated caregivers. To learn more, view our Northwest Track video.
How Does it Work?
Once accepted into the WesternU/COMP Northwest Track, students will complete their first two years of study at COMP in Pomona, California. The required third and fourth year clinical rotations, excluding elective clerkship experiences which can be taken anywhere, will be completed in WesternU/COMP affiliated hospitals in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington or Wyoming. It is expected that many of the WesternU/COMP Northwest Track students will apply for and be accepted to post graduate residencies in the Northwest.
