Since 1998, the Department of Medicine has selected physicians to receive the WWAMI Excellence in Teaching Award, from nominations submitted by students, residents, and faculty in Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho. 
In 2009 the award was renamed to honor the late Dr. Richard Tucker, who was the Wenatchee site coordinator and served as an infectious diseases specialist and director for quality and education at the Wenatchee Valley Medical Center.
