Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Education
Mission: The association of university physicians is a clinical practice plan for the university of washington school of medicine ("uwsom") faculty physicians and non-physician practitioners and provides substantial support to the uwsom.
Programs: The physicians and other health care practitioners of the association of university physicians (together, "uwp practitioners") provide clinical care at university of washington owned, operated, and affiliated facilities. Uwp practitioners are required to be faculty members of the university of washington school of medicine as a condition of practice plan membership and practice only at sites approved by the ceo of uw medicine, evp for medical affairs and dean of the uwsom (uw medicine ceo). Uwp practitioners also provide clinical care in other local and national community settings as approved by the uw medicine ceo. These activities increase community access to specialist and sub-specialist clinical care and expertise, provide primary care in communities that may not have sufficient local resources, and help to assure sufficient practice sites and patient populations to maintain the uwsom teaching and research activities. Pursuant to an operating agreement between the association of university physicians ("uwp") and the university of washington board of regents, all uwp revenues in excess of its operating expenses and physician compensation are held in an academic support fund solely for the support of the uwsom. The uw medicine ceo controls all physician compensation by uwp and his approval is required for the significantactions of the uwp board of trustees.
