Description

The MEDEX Northwest Physician Assistant Program used to be created on the University of Washington in 1968 as one of the vital nations first physician assistant (PA) programs. A joint project of the Washington State Medical Association and the University of Washington School of Medicine, MEDEX used to be designed to satisfy the wishes of overworked physicians in rural communities. As envisioned by MEDEX founder Dr. Richard A. Smith, Physician Assistants were created by physicians, for physicians. To start with, all MEDEX students were former military corpsmen coming back from Vietnam. In line with their extensive clinical experience, they were well accepted by doctors and their patients. Dr. Richard Smith used to be a former Peace Corps physician and leader of the federal project to desegregate the United States hospital system as a requirement for Medicare reimbursement. Dr. Smiths founding principles for MEDEX included a collaborative model for community and practitioner involvementthe framework for the MEDEX Program right through its 45-year history.
