The University of Washington, the Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System, Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute, and diverse primary care organizations across Washington state are partnering to train the next generation of independent scientists. Our partnership aims to help integrated health systems and community health centers meet the challenges of providing equitable, high-quality primary care.
