The Washington State University Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine is relocating to office space in the 805 Broadway building in downtown Vancouver. Previously, the school – which maintains locations at each of WSU’s regional campuses in Everett, Spokane, Tri-Cities and Vancouver – held classes for the College of Medicine on the Vancouver campus.
The new location will serve as an administrative and educational campus and offer training opportunities for medical students before finishing their final two years in the school’s medical program.
“We are so excited to have this opportunity to strengthen our relationship with the city of Vancouver. This central location will increase the visibility of the College of Medicine and allow our students, staff, and faculty to engage with our local community in new and innovative ways,” Dr. Judi Marcin, the associate dean of clinical education at the Vancouver regional medical campus, said in a news release shared Thursday.
The new campus is expected to open by late fall.
