At the West Virginia University School of Medicine, we educate health professionals, provide thousands of people with medical care, and conduct lifesaving research. Our students work side-by-side with doctors and scientists in the University's modern hospitals, clinics, and laboratories. They also have a chance to learn from professionals in practice at medical offices, clinics and hospitals across the state.

WVU medical faculty and students are at the leading edge of scientific studies of the biological process of life - and at the forefront of efforts to bring health advances to residents of West Virginia's cities and rural areas. Many graduates choose to stay in West Virginia to help meet our state's healthcare needs. Others join the most competitive residency and postdoctoral programs in the country. A WVU medical education can prepare you for whatever your future will bring.
