Advancing medical education in Washington State

Dr. Wright is expanding his role as a surgical mentor this fall, building on his experience as a clinical associate professor for the Department of Surgery for WSU’s Floyd College of Medicine. Dr. Wright will be instructing third year medical students at Pacific Northwest University nearly every week, as we progress through the next schoolyear. Dr. Wright and Dr. Nelson and all the staff at Meridian Surgery Center embrace their new role in advancing medical education in our community and across the state.

Dr. Wright and staff at Meridian Surgery Center mentor medical students from Pacific Northwest University by their observation and participation in understanding patients and their needs in relation to surgery. It is our pleasure to help educate the upcoming classes of medical students. It is our goal to train them and encourage them to stay in our community serving the needs of patients in Pierce County. In fact, someday they may be treating you, your children, or your grandchildren as they continue on in medicine for the upcoming decades.

We are excited to contribute to the education of these upcoming medical students!
