Dr. Bill Woodhouse, associate dean for Idaho State University Graduate Medical Education and Professional Relations for the Kasiska Division of Health Sciences, has recently been installed as the president of the Idaho Medical Association.

An inauguration took place in August in Sun Valley.

Woodhouse has been involved with medicine organizations for more than 25 years, representing his colleagues in the Wyoming Medical Society before coming to Idaho in 1994. Shortly after, he began working with the Idaho Academy of Family Physicians Board, where he served until 2013. During that time, he was president from 2002 to 2003. Woodhouse was also involved as the Idaho delegate to the American Academy of Family Physicians from 2007 to 2012.

In 2010, Woodhouse was elected as the District 7 (Southeast Idaho) trustee for the Idaho Medical Association and then re-elected after a four-year term. He then followed the association’s leadership track, which moved him to president-elect in 2017 and, most currently, to president.
