MEDEX Northwest

Seattle Campus

Home Base

MEDEX Seattle is the founding campus and operational home of MEDEX Northwest. It hosts the largest class of the five MEDEX campuses with an annual acceptance rate of 40 to 50 seats. Its classroom is located within the UW School of Medicine Warren G. Magnuson Health Sciences Center, adjacent to the UW Medical Center – Montlake. The Health Sciences Center houses several nationally recognized healthcare-related academic disciplines, including the schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy and Public Health. Equipped with state-of-the art instructional technologies, the Seattle classroom supports the demands of a hybrid and collaborative learning environment for teachers and students alike. Faculty and staff offices are located near the “U District,” long the center of UW college life. The U District’s main drag, ‘the Ave,’ features diverse food and entertainment options, coffee and bubble tea shops, bookstores and clothing shops, and the U District light rail station.

Getting Around

The greater Seattle area is considered to be the 15th largest metropolis in the nation. But heavy automobile traffic can often make it feel far larger. Fortunately, getting to and from the Magnuson Health Sciences Center is enabled by extensive and well-maintained foot and bike paths, nearby parking garages, an extensive bus system, and the University of Washington Station on the Sound Transit light rail system adjacent to the UW Medical Center and the Husky Stadium. This station is one of two light rail stations that connect the University community to Capital Hill, the downtown core, Pioneer Square, Chinatown/International District, T-Mobile Park (the Mariners), the Lumen Field (the Seahawks, Sea-Tac Airport, and other Seattle neighborhoods throughout the city.

Seattle and The Pacific Northwest


Seattle hosts a sizable network of neighborhood health clinics, and offers opportunities to work with an underserved urban population. Seattle is a city of water and hills, which accounts for the panoramic views of freshwater lakes, the saltwater Puget Sound and two neighboring mountain ranges on either side of the city. Seattle has a reputation for rainfall but receives less annual rain than New York or Boston.  At the core, it is an active and artistic town whose residents have easy access to running trails, bicycle paths and verdant city parks in addition to great food, live music, museums, and events celebrating the arts. Seattle is a great place to balance your studies with recreation and social activities.

The WAPA conference was in Spokane from October 10 The WAPA conference was in Spokane from October 10-12th. Our student elected WAPA representative Kaeleb and a few other MEDEX Class 58 students were there. Kaeleb had this to say about the conference, “MEDEX NW sent a small delegation to the Autumn WAPA Conference. The experience helped us grow professionally and conceptually. We connected with PAs from all across Washington State and learned from their experiences in rural and underserved communities. We applied what we had learned in our didactic studies to real life examples to develop a greater knowledge of medicine and the PA profession. A truly valuable experience.” Thank you all for attending and representing #medexnorthwest #medexseattle the rest of class 58 cannot wait to hear more about it. #wapa #wapa2024
Another Interprofessional Education (IPE) Core Cur Another Interprofessional Education (IPE) Core Curriculum was held today. Great conversations between first and second year students from PAs, PharmD, MD, Nursing, and Public Health (just to name a few). The activities at IPE allow us to work together, build camaraderie and ask each other candid questions about the other programs at UW. #uwschoolofmedicine
