SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - The University of Washington on Monday criticized as deeply flawed a study released last week that supported the creation of a new medical school in Spokane by rival Washington State University. <\/p>\n
A statement from the Seattle university said the study released last week contained \"faulty assumptions, omissions and erroneous data. <\/p>\n
\"These flaws raise significant concerns about the actual feasibility of a WSU medical school,\" the UW statement said. <\/p>\n
Officials for Washington State University stood by the results of the feasibility study. They contend a big shortage of doctors outside the Seattle metropolitan area justifies creation of a public medical school in Spokane. The Legislature would have to provide funding for the project, which would likely compete with the University of Washington's multi-state WWAMI program for students and resources. <\/p>\n
The University of Washington complained in particular that the study by MGT of America, Inc. assumed the re-direction of funds from the existing WWAMI medical education program in Spokane to the new WSU medical school there. <\/p>\n
\"You can't spend the same public dollars twice,\" the UW said. <\/p>\n
