The Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM)-Carolinas is proud to announce a significant stride forward in medical education and community health, thanks to a generous grant from the South Carolina Center for Rural and Primary Healthcare. The grant, totaling over $400,000, marks a pivotal moment for our institution, allowing us to expand our outreach and provide innovative training opportunities for future physicians.

Each year in March, future physicians across the globe experience Match Day, a milestone when they learn where and in what specialties they will continue their training in residencies. VCOM students did particularly well on Match Day, as they always do.

Amidst the resounding success of VCOM-Carolinas’ Research Recognition Day, held on campus February 9, emerged a student researcher who, according to the SROY Selection Committee “exemplifies a dedication to osteopathic research, leadership in osteopathic research, professional development, and the embodiment of osteopathic philosophy”: Max Muir.

When there’s not a doctor in the house, having med student neighbors is the next best thing.

For two VCOM-Carolinas second-year medical students, being a good neighbor meant applying their training during an at-home emergency and possibly saving a life.
