Historical Note

The MEDEX Demonstration Project, jointly sponsored by the University of Washington and the Washington State Medical Association, was created in 1968 and funded by the National Center for Health Services Research. The first class of 15 former military medical corpsmen was selected and began training the next year. In 1974, MEDEX dropped previous restrictions on admitting only ex-military corpsmen and nurses and allied health workers were admitted for the first time.

Due to cutbacks in federal support, the MEDEX program was given self-sustaining status by the University of Washington in 1981, allowing the program to retain tuition and fees. Prior to 1986, students were only eligible for a generic bachelors degree through the University Extension program; however, that year MEDEX issued the first Bachelor's Degree in Clinical Health Services. Additional support from the Washington state legislature allowed the program to begin satellite training for students in Yakima, Washington (1994) and Spokane, Washington (1997). The program is located in the School of Medicine and draws its teaching staff from the School of Medicine as well as from the community of practicing physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners.
