The Office of Alumni Relations takes great pride in our graduates.

Our grads are the ones doing the real work in our nation’s hospitals, clinics and private practices.

It’s our grads who choose to practice in areas of our country that need doctors the most and work in the primary care fields so important to our nation’s health care system.

The quality of care WVSOM graduates deliver to the state and nation reflects positively on this institution.
