VCOM 2024 Annual Report

Making a Difference: Philanthropy is Changing Lives Thimothy Corvin, MA Vice President for College Development and Alumni Relations

T he Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine is at the forefront of medical education, training healthcare leaders of tomorrow, and improving the well-being of the communities they will serve —and it’s all thanks to the support from donors like you. VCOM focuses more than any other medical school in the region on recruiting students who will meet the healthcare needs of medically underserved populations. Research shows students with the greatest commitment to service are often those who themselves come from rural and underserved communities with fewer economic resources.

For this reason, private support is critical in our ability to recruit and foster the kind of medical students who will most likely fulfill the College's mission. This past year, donors from all walks of life made gifts to VCOM that provide much needed scholarship support, increase outreach activities, and propel innovation and research. From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely thank each of you for helping VCOM be a leader in bringing healthcare home to those communities and families in greatest need.
