VCOM 2017 Annual Report

inspired by the communities we serve throughout the Appalachian region V COM partners with community-based

hospitals and faculty physicians to provide clinical instruction to its third- and fourth-year medical students. Through exposure to rural and medically underserved areas, students experience hands-on clinical training where they also gain an appreciation for the many rewards of rural and community-based medicine. Through this partnership, VCOM works with clinical sites to improve the care and service given to patients throughout the region.
