VCOM - Carolinas 2017 Yearbook

inspired a college where Vision, Caring and Osteopathic Medicine align. T he Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM)–Carolinas campus was inspired by a vision to bring physicians to medically underserved areas. In response to an extreme healthcare shortage, VCOM Chairman John Rocovich, JD, LLM, and Sue Ellen Rocovich, DO, PhD, worked with Edward Via to establish the College in his name, in Blacksburg, Virginia. Since the inaugural class started in 2003, VCOM has grown to include two more campuses: one in Alabama and one in South Carolina. VCOM-Carolinas opened in Spartanburg, South Carolina in 2011. In May of 2017, our third graduating class brought the total number of new osteopathic physicians up to nearly 500 from this campus alone. Following in the footsteps of the previous classes, many of the Class of 2017 doctors have chosen primary care as their specialty, and will continue to pursue our mission. Our students are inspired by a College whose mission and focus is on caring for those most in need. We are all inspired by the principles of osteopathic medicine, treating a whole patient - body, mind and spirit. VCOM is inspired .
