2025-2030 VCOM Strategic Plan

Overview

VCOM is proud to present the 2025-2030 Strategic Plan. The creation of the Strategic Plan was a collaborative process with input from faculty, staff, students, college and campus leadership, the campus Advisory Boards, and the Board of Directors. The development of the Strategic Plan began in 2023 with a review of VCOM’s Mission, Goals, and Priorities. Feedback was consistent that VCOM is mission centric; aligning its practices with its mission as evidenced by its outcomes. Several modifications to the Mission, Goals, and Priorities were suggested, many of which were organizational in nature. Other suggestions were focused on adding priorities to ensure that the college appropriately represented its daily work. While the changes improved the clarity and the organization of the Mission, Goals, and Priorities, none of the changes resulted in a need to alter the admissions policies, organizational chart, facilities, or financial plans. As the VCOM Mission Statement defines the college’s core purpose and serves as the foundation for the strategic plan, the development of the 2025-2030 VCOM Strategic Plan focused on aligning the institution's Mission, Goals, and Priorities with actionable, long-term strategies. By evaluating the college’s current position and considering internal strengths and weaknesses, as well as external opportunities, key areas for improvement or expansion were identified. Regular assessments and adjustments will ensure the plan remains relevant and effective in achieving the mission of the college. The Strategic Plan positions VCOM to advance its mission and expand upon its success over the next five years. The alignment with the college's mission, setting specific goals and objectives, creates a roadmap for implementation and continuous evaluation to ensure institutional success and that VCOM continues to be a leader in preparing globally minded, community-focused osteopathic physicians to meet the needs of rural and medically underserved populations and advancing research to improve human health.
