Enhancing the Medical School Experience
The WVSOM academic program provides students with the foundation of knowledge and skills needed by the osteopathic physician.
However, the college also recognizes the importance of extracurricular involvement. Campus student organizations can enhance the medical school experience and better prepare the student physician for eventual practice in a community setting.
All student organizations operate with the assistance of the Student Program Advisor.
