VCOM Virginia Campus

VCOM-Virginia Campus

VCOM's first campus is a collaborative partnership between VCOM and Virginia Tech. Opening in 2003 in Virginia Tech's corporate research park, the main campus building features a state-of-the-art anatomy lab. Its Simulation and Technology Center, which opened in 2008, houses high-fidelity human medical simulators, simulated surgical and intensive care suites, and simulated radiology experiences. 

This campus has an affiliated teaching clinic with student rotations, including the Sports and Osteopathic Medicine Clinic, which also sponsors ONMM3 residencies, sports medicine fellowships, and research programs.

The Center for One Health on the main Virginia Tech campus is a grant-funded research lab for collaborating biomedical faculty from VCOM and the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine.

 

Each year's class admits about 185 medical students, for a total student body of 700.

Improving Healthcare in Virginia

Since VCOM's first class graduated in 2007, nearly 40% have stayed to practice in rural or medically underserved areas in Virginia. A state that once ranked 38th in the country for primary care physicians per capita, Virginia has moved up to number 8 — a measure that starkly shows the impact VCOM physicians have for those most in need of care.
