EVERETT — Washington State University’s medical school will launch a new fellowship program with Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, the university and Providence Swedish announced Thursday.<\/p>\n
The program will accept two fellows every year studying critical care medicine, which focuses on the diagnosis, management and prevention of long-term complications in severely ill patients, a university website reads<\/a>.<\/p>\n Fellows who take part in the two-year program will complete rotations in the hospital’s cardiovascular, medical, neurological, surgical and trauma intensive care units. The first class will start in the summer of 2026.<\/p>\n In a joint press release, the medical school and Providence Swedish say the fellowships will help address Washington’s shortage of physicians in primary and specialty care.<\/p>\n “This new fellowship is a vital step toward strengthening the critical care workforce in Washington state and beyond,” Program Director Dr. Tomasz Ziedalski wrote in the release. “We are proud to offer a rigorous, community-based training experience that prepares physicians to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams and deliver high-quality care to the sickest patients.”<\/p>\n Washington State University’s medical school already works with local health care providers<\/a> like Compass Health to provide clinical rotation opportunities to students. It also has a residency program in Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, helping to train doctors studying internal medicine.<\/p>\n Will Geschke: 425-339-3443; <\/em>william.geschke@heraldnet.com<\/em><\/a>; X: <\/em>@willgeschke<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two fellows per year will train at intensive care units in Providence Regional Medical Center Everett starting in 2026. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1126,"featured_media":849000,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1078,1086,2,1024],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-848999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education","category-health-wellness","category-news","category-top-news"],"acf":[],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/heraldnet.com\/2025\/06\/09\/wsu-and-providence-partner-for-everett-fellowship-program\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"WSU and Providence partner for Everett fellowship program","url":"http:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/2025\/06\/09\/wsu-and-providence-partner-for-everett-fellowship-program\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/2025\/06\/09\/wsu-and-providence-partner-for-everett-fellowship-program\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/06\/39575357_web1_TSR-250609-WSUMed.jpg?w=150&h=150&crop=1","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/06\/39575357_web1_TSR-250609-WSUMed.jpg"},"articleSection":"Local News","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Will Geschke"}],"creator":["Will Geschke"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"HeraldNet.com","logo":""},"keywords":[],"dateCreated":"2025-06-09T08:30:00Z","datePublished":"2025-06-09T08:30:00Z","dateModified":"2026-03-27T20:34:17Z"},"rendered":"
