Prospective Students at 91ɫƵ-Central Wisconsin

Our Vision

91ɫƵ-Central Wisconsin strives to be the most community-engaged campus in the nation. Additionally, we are working to help address a critical shortage of primary care physicians (family medicine, pediatrics and internal medicine) and psychiatrists for the northern Wisconsin region. Our primary goal is to recruit students from rural and diverse backgrounds as well as students who are first generation college graduates who want to pursue medicine and set up their practices in northern Wisconsin. 91ɫƵ-CW offers a 3-year program for primary care specialties, which can be a financial benefit to students.

Why Choose 91ɫƵ-Central Wisconsin

In July 2016, 91ɫƵ-Central Wisconsin matriculated its first class of medical students at our newest campus in beautiful Central Wisconsin, working in partnership with the best academic and medical facilities in the region. If you love the quality of life that comes with year-round outdoor sports and entertainment, balanced with great schools and quality family life in a mid-size city with top amenities, this campus may be for you.

91ɫƵ-Central Wisconsin provides an innovative and focused 3-year curriculum to train primary care physicians (family medicine, pediatrics and internal medicine), and psychiatrists who want to live and work in the region when they complete their medical education. The program is community-focused, involving many community providers and organizations in the outstanding curricular activities for our learners. We do not have research labs and aren’t suited to training students for complex specialties, but we offer small class sizes and the chance to get to know your faculty in the classroom and in the clinical setting. Students work side-by-side with community physicians while on clerkship rotations. By choosing 91ɫƵ-Central Wisconsin, you can help ensure the sustainability of the healthcare system in our region, eventually taking the place of a retiring physician.

Our program offers contemporary learning technology, state-of-the art classrooms and labs, and the ability to get plenty of one-on-one attention from some of the best physicians in the region to help you learn how to become a world-class doctor and a leader in your community. If this sounds like the place for you, learn more and join us at 91ɫƵ-Central Wisconsin.

Aspirus National Residency Match Program Exception
Aspirus, in partnership with the 91ɫƵ-CW Campus, has developed an innovative family medicine training curriculum that provides a direct entry from 91ɫƵ-CW into the Aspirus Wausau Family Medicine Residency Program.  The purpose of this curriculum is to provide participants a seamless transition from medical school to residency while providing robust continuity of clinical and community care experiences spanning medical school and residency training.  Each year one (typically an M2) 91ɫƵ-CW student will be selected (after a competitive application process) to join the Aspirus Family Medicine Residency upon graduation from 91ɫƵ-CW.    

The selected student will have opportunity to; complete their 91ɫƵ-CW family medicine rotations at the Residency, participate on the Residency teaching service, be assigned a resident mentor, develop a pre-residency continuity relationship with future patients, and extend their 91ɫƵ-CW community project into their residency program.   The selected student does not have to participate in the NRMP Match program (however the student retains the right to drop out of the exception and go through the competitive multi-residency program interview process by participating in the NRMP residency match).     

The application process begins in January and involves a formal interview with the Residency Program after submission of a personal statement and Dean’s letter. 

Aspirus Scholars Program
The Aspirus Scholars Program was created by Aspirus and several community partners to address the health needs of patients in north central Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and ensure access to high-quality medical providers, today and for future generations. 

The Aspirus Scholars Program provides scholarships to 91ɫƵ-CW first or second-year medical students through a competitive application process.   The program provides a combination of scholarship and loan forgiveness (in exchange for a service commitment and rewarding career with Aspirus). 

The Aspirus Scholars program is designed to help alleviate some of the debt burden many of our medical providers are faced with today.  

Wisconsin AHEC Scholars Program

Wisconsin Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) Scholars is a two-year program designed to enhance and broaden a student’s healthcare training.
