West Virginia University School of Medicine

What makes the WVU School of Medicine different from other academic medical institutions? Our faculty, staff and students embody a culture of collaboration and community in the classrooms and the clinics.

With a required rural health experience included in the curriculum, many graduates choose to make West Virginia their home and practice in the specialized field of rural medicine, helping to help meet our state's pressing health care needs. Others join equally competitive residency and postdoctoral programs around the country. A WVU medical education can prepare you for a challenging career in medicine, research and academia. Guided by our mission of transforming lives and eliminating health disparities, the WVU School of Medicine remains at the service of West Virginia and its people.

We support a culture of purpose, accountability, honesty and gratitude that prepares our learners to be resilient and confident as they care for people, conduct research and transform lives.

MD Program

WVU's Medical Degree Program is composed of a diverse student body that is prepared for a range of medical career options in order to become physician leaders who can advance biomedical research and improve local, national, and global health. This is accomplished through curriculum in which students learn the core basic sciences in the first and second years and complete core clinical clerkships and scholarly investigation in the third and fourth years.

Students entering the M.D. Program complete their first two years at the Morgantown campus and their remaining two years at either the Morgantown, Charleston or Eastern campus, depending on their assignment upon admission. Each campus experience offers a unique opportunity to engage in the local community and participate in clinical rotations at various partner hospitals and clinics around the state.

The WVU School of Medicine encourages a vibrant, close-knit community across our three campuses in an environment where ideas and interests can be freely shared. We encourage students to express their unique personalities and this in turn paints a distinctive picture found at few other campuses across the country.
