Within the building, individual rooms can be named:

$100,000 - Seminar Room
$50,000 - Simulation Rooms
$25,000 - Exam Rooms

VCOM medical students have many opportunities to practice the patient interview and physical exam skills they will use throughout their careers. The Simulation and Educational Technology Center features realistic physician exam rooms, where students interact with standardized patients (actors trained to portray fictional patients) and work with instructors to develop their skills.

The Simulation and Educational Technology Center includes examination rooms (similar in size and design to real physician exam rooms), a reception area, administrative space, a patient waiting area, and an observation area for the review of student exams.

The Simulation and Educational Technology Center at the Auburn, Carolinas, or Louisiana campus can be named with a gift of $1.5 million.

Within the building, individual rooms can be named:

$100,000 - Seminar Room
$50,000 - Simulation Rooms

The lecture hall is the first academic space students see upon arrival at VCOM and is open to hundreds of students, faculty, and visitors each year.

Lecture halls are the largest learning environments at VCOM. Designed to support collaboration, each lecture hall uses a tiered floor system to group fixed tables and flexible seats for both lecture and student group work. The shape of the auditorium also encourages student and faculty interaction across the space. With a capacity of up to 200 students, lecture halls are complete with distance learning technology and top-of-the-line audio/visual systems. In addition to classes, each lecture hall is also used for symposiums and guest lectures.

Each lecture hall can be named with a gift of $1 million.

Anatomical Sciences is the cornerstone of medical education. The anatomy labs on each of VCOM’s four campuses are modern, fully outfitted suites with ample space for dissection, prosection demonstrations, and review of X-rays and other imaging, which guarantees this seminal experience in every medical student's life is as rich and educational as it can be.

The anatomy lab on each campus can be named with a gift of $1 million.

The library provides a dedicated space to study. It includes computer access to newspapers and databases, as well as online journals and online medical textbooks. The library also contains quiet study spaces.

The library on each campus can be named with a gift of $1 million.

The courtyard or patio on each of VCOM’s four campuses provides students with an outdoor social gathering area, further enhancing the sense of community on which the College prides itself.
