A pair of Spokane legislators will propose legislation to put the states second medical school in Spokane under the control of Washington State University. <\/p>\n
Rep. Marcus Riccelli, a Democrat, and Sen. Mike Baumgartner, a Republican, will unveil legislation on Tuesday that would change a nearly century-old law that limits medical education to the University of Washington and provide some $2.5 million for WSU to establish a school that concentrates on family and rural medicine disciplines. <\/p>\n
At this point theres no reduction on anything (for UW Medical School), Riccelli said. We want to grow medical education any way <\/p>\n

They plan to introduce legislation in both chambers that would amend a 1917 law that places the medical education at UW, allowing WSU to have a separate school at the Riverpoint Campus east of downtown Spokane. <\/p>\n
This is not a radical idea, Riccelli said. There are plenty of states that have more than one medical school. <\/p>\n
