VCOM 2016 Annual Report

Meeting Our Mission

V COM was founded on the idea that underserved populations of the Appalachian region should be aided by those who understand the need for physicians. Because of this, we actively recruit students who are members of Appalachian communities. Our outcomes report results show that the majority of these students go on to complete primary care residencies and become physicians within their communities, showcasing the success of our mission. Many of our graduates now focus on teaching the next generation of physicians in order to ensure our mission lives on. It’s our alumni who are living the mission, that tell the real story of the impact of VCOM on the Appalachian region.
