VCOM 2020 Annual Report

Recruiting for Diversity, AddressingMedically Underserved Communities V COM values and affirms that diversity contributes richness to the College and enhances the quality of medical education, producing better doctors overall. VCOM recognizes the lack of medical care available to minority populations and actively recruits minority students who are underrepresented in healthcare. The United States population is becoming increasingly diverse, and VCOM seeks a student body that will meet

the needs of an ever-changing society. We believe diversity initiatives must also include regions that are medically underserved in order to provide the care these areas need and deserve.
