VCOM 2018 Annual Report

“ My wife Brittany and I have always believed in giving back to the underserved through medicine.

healthcare that is so needed in these countries and to be a source of experienced guidance for medical students,” said Sogunro. By assisting on international outreach trips, the VCOM Mission comes full circle as the College’s graduates take on the responsibility of teaching the

next generation of medical students. In 2017-2018, 14 VCOM alumni participated in outreach experiences at VCOM's clinics in the Dominican Republic, El Salvador and Honduras.

It was a calling prior, during and will remain one long after VCOM. We strongly believe in VCOM’s international mission statement, enjoyed being a part of the first all-alumni preceptor trip, and look forward to the opportunities to give back to the students and the underserved in the years to come. ” Kyle Bennett, DO Class of 2013
