T he Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM) has three campuses with one common Mission: to graduate community-focused, globally- minded osteopathic physicians to meet the needs of rural and medically underserved populations. The Mission is the heart and soul of VCOM and is shared by our students and faculty. Within our Mission is a focus on the communities we serve. VCOM is committed to each individual community where we reside as well as to the region we serve. While VCOM is one of the largest medical schools in the country, each VCOM campus maintains the feel of a smaller private college and community. VCOM is producing the type of physician this country needs and is focused on making a difference in the communities and regions we serve.

2,023 physicians from 12 classes have graduated from VCOM-Virginia since 2007
