VCOM-Carolinas is proud to celebrate the outstanding achievements of Henry Knox, Class of 2027, who has recently been elected to serve on the American Osteopathic Foundation (AOF) Board of Directors. This prestigious appointment places him among influential leaders dedicated to advancing osteopathic medicine, advocating for students, and expanding the foundation's mission of supporting the profession through education, research, and community service.
In addition to his role with the AOF, Knox has also been elected as the vice chairperson of the National Student Osteopathic Medical Association Foundation (SOMAF) for an upcoming two-year term. In this leadership capacity, he will work to promote student engagement, develop initiatives that support future osteopathic physicians, and enhance the reach of SOMA’s mission across the nation.
A native of Evans, Georgia, Knox earned both his Bachelor of Science in biology and Master of Science in biomolecular science from Augusta University. His dedication to medical education extends beyond the classroom—he actively contributes as President of the SOMA chapter at VCOM-Carolinas planning campus-wide events such as DO Day at the Dome, the annual SOMA Gala, and Leadership Symposium. In addition, he serves as an education and technology simulation center intern, an anatomy lab tutor, and a VCOM Ambassador, helping to foster a collaborative and enriching environment for his peers.
Beyond his academic and leadership endeavors, Knox enjoys a wide range of outdoor activities, including hiking, endurance sports, golf, and travel. His passion for health and wellness aligns with his commitment to osteopathic medicine and holistic patient care.
VCOM-Carolinas congratulates Henry Knox on these well-earned leadership positions and looks forward to witnessing the impact of his contributions to the osteopathic medical community.
