A CurriculumDesigned for Success Years 1 & 2: The foundation of VCOM’s carefully curated block-style curriculum explores each body system to highlight the core areas of medicine. Students are also introduced to and led through clinical experiences by faculty. Hands-on training activities help students to become fully aware of the communities they will affect and helps with communication skills early on. Years 3 & 4: In the third year, students move through 10 core clinical rotations at College-affiliated hospitals and practices. This gives them a look at most specialties available to them and shows them up-close the inner-workings of medical practices. In the fourth year, they choose specific rotation sites and specialties that are of interest to them. This enables students to get a clear idea of their upcoming career paths. Support: Students do not go through any of these steps alone. At VCOM, students are encouraged with the support of our collaborative campus community and resources offered by the Center for Institutional, Faculty and Student Success. The Center advances the quality of medical education at VCOM, offering
