VCOM 2016 Annual Report

Alumni Preceptors Living the Mission

Alumni Return to Participate in Global Health Outreach

U pon graduation from VCOM, alumni continue on their journey to support the College’s mission as they complete residency training and begin their careers as physicians dedicated to serving those most in need. A number of VCOM graduates have chosen to return to the College as teaching faculty and to share practical experience

with current students as preceptors in our clinical partner facilities. The VCOM mission comes full circle as graduates who have completed their medical education take on the responsibility of teaching the next generation of medical students. Our alumni faculty and preceptors act as mentors

and help to prepare future VCOM physicians to take on the responsibility of serving others, while providing patient-centered care for those who need it most. In 2015, 23 VCOM alumni faculty participated in outreach experiences at our clinics in the Dominican Republic, El Salvador and Honduras.
