Welcoming its first class in 2020, VCOM's Louisiana campus is a partnership between VCOM and the University of Louisiana Monroe. Beautifully situated along the Bayou DeSiard, the facility represents some of the most modern medical teaching facilities available. The main campus building spans over 90,000 square feet and is situated on a 10-acre campus, immediately adjacent to ULM. In addition to two theatre classrooms, 20 moderately sized rooms are available for small-group learning. The main campus building features a state-of-the-art anatomy lab, a physical exam and osteopathic manipulative medicine training lab, a library, and student study and lounge spaces. The Simulation and Technology Center features cutting-edge, high-fidelity human medical simulators, standardized patient examination rooms, simulated surgical and intensive care unit suites, physical diagnosis and osteopathic manual therapy training labs, simulated radiology experiences, and space for additional medical education programs.
The 10-acre campus includes a walking path and outside patios, providing students with both indoor and outdoor environments for study and activities.
ULM is the state's only public school of pharmacy and schools of nursing, kinesiology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other health sciences, offering many opportunities for research and educational collaborations.
While VCOM has formed a collaborative partnership with ULM, the degree of Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine is granted and conferred solely by the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine and is not affiliated with any of VCOM’s affiliated colleges or universities, including but not limited to Virginia Tech, Auburn University, or the University of Louisiana Monroe.
Each year, the College admits between 150 and 162 medical students per class, for a total student body of 600.
