What is the Physician Liaison Program?
The Physician Liaison Program at UW Medical Center establishes and promotes positive relationships between UW Medical Center, referring physicians, and their staff.
Our physician liaisons serve as a personal contact for physicians to address questions, issues or concerns. Information shared with our physician liaisons is important to UW Medical Center physicians and administration, and is used for planning and evaluating its services and programs.
The Physician Liaison Program is intended as a resource for physicians and other referring healthcare providers in Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho (the WWAMI Region).
For more information about this program, or to schedule a visit with a physician liaison, please contact 206-598-3473 or seufer@u.washington.edu.
