- WVSOM – The largest medical school in West Virginia with 777 students . For the last 11 years U.S. News & World Report Magazine’s annual “Best Graduate Schools” edition ranked WVSOM among the top medical schools in America educating students for the practice of primary care medicine and practice in medically underserved and rural areas.
The new Clinical Evaluation Center (CEC) is one of most technologically advanced medical education facilities in the U.S. providing learning opportunities using simulated patients (robots) and standardized patients (area residents turned actors) who present assigned medical conditions to the students. Students learn skills working with live “patients” and treating simulated ones that react to a variety of treatments, medications and testing. WVSOM is a major employer and an economic development engine generating in excess of $200 million annually for West Virginia. http://twitter.com/WVSOM
