VCOM - Auburn 2017 Yearbook

Elizabeth A. Palmarozzi, DO, FACOFP Dean for the Auburn Campus T he VCOM-Auburn campus is an inspiring and beautiful place, situated within the Auburn University campus. We try to nurture a family atmosphere, while advancing the best education possible for our students to prepare them as future physicians. The inaugural class of 2019 students at VCOM-Auburn laid the foundation for future students at our campus, while the second class of 2020 has solidly built upon that foundation. Through our collaboration with Auburn University, outstanding experiences, activities and resources are available to our students. We strive to offer students the best in faculty, instruction, hands-on experience and technology. We do not take lightly our mission of education, service, access, research and outreach. It has been a pleasure to watch as the inaugural class has established student organizations, volunteered in the community and abroad, and began clinical rotations in the summer of 2017. It is bittersweet seeing them move on, however, this next experience brings them even closer to becoming critically-needed physicians. We hope to instill in these students osteopathic principles and inspire in them a strong sense of service to the underserved in Alabama and beyond.
