#CougsGive might be over, but you can still make your gift here.
WSU Native American Health Sciences

What if there was a program that supported Native American students on their path to becoming health care professionals?

There is! The Native American Health Sciences program at WSU Spokane is dedicated to educating and empowering Native American students beginning in middle school and through their college health sciences programs.

The program oversees the Center for Native American Health, Native pathway programs like the Na-ha-shnee STEAM Summer Institute and OLDWAYS, and a simulation facility dedicated to educating students about culturally competent health care practice.   

In addition to helping the health science colleges recruit Native Americans entering the health care workforce, the program also promotes:

  • Culturally embedding and teaching indigenous healing perspectives through newly developed curriculum and clinical education modalities to counterbalance Western forms of medical and health education with traditional understandings and perspectives toward equitable Indigenous patient care.
  • Providing a space for tribal community health initiatives through our land-grant mission focused on planning, training, facilitation, support, and collaboration with tribal nation partners and affiliates.

A gift to the Native American Health Sciences Excellence Fund will support Native student's academic success while providing a culturally holistic-centered space for community engagement.
