VCOM - Virginia 2017 Yearbook

inspired a college where Vision, Caring and Osteopathic Medicine align. T he Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM)–Virginia campus was inspired by a vision to bring physicians to medically underserved areas. A study revealed that the southside and southwest geographical areas of Virginia had an extreme health care shortage. It was evident that the shortage would continue to grow. VCOM Chairman, John Rocovich, JD, LLM, and Sue Ellen Rocovich, DO, PhD, worked with Edward Via to establish the College in his name. Since the first day of classes for the inaugural class in 2003, the VCOM–Virginia campus has graduated 1,840 osteopathic physicians. True to our mission, over 69 percent of all VCOM graduates are in residencies or are practicing in Appalachian states. 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 .
