MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR Charles H. Davis, D.O.

CHAIR, WVSOM BOARD OF GOVERNORS

I am honored to be a part of the WVSOM family. When I visit campus I can feel the energy and it is contagious. As I look back over the 20162017 fiscal year, it is apparent in every endeavor, WVSOM is making strides – moving forward as a leader in osteopathic medical education.

“WVSOM is making strides – moving forward as a leader in osteopathic medical education.

- CHARLES H. DAVIS, D.O.

I believe our success is a credit to our vigilant pursuit of excellence in all we do. Every victory is evaluated for improvement, every hurdle is reviewed for resolution; students try harder, faculty educate at a higher level and our staff is dedicated to giving their best effort to WVSOM. In addition to supporting our mission to educate the very best osteopathic physicians in the nation, WVSOM contributes to the health and well-being of West Virginia residents through outreach programs such as the Center for Rural and Community Health (CRCH) and the Healthy Children’s Initiative (HCI). Both programs tackle very real issues regarding healthy communities. CRCH heavily contributed to the development of an Opioid Toolkit designed for the local community that has now been adopted as a publication for use all across the state. WVSOM’s HCI supported healthy choice habits for our youngest residents through the televised children’s show Abracadabra and through an outreach program to elementary schools.

However, that is not all. I wonder if people realize that WVSOM’s Statewide Campus system reaches every county in the state. We have students, assistant deans, faculty and staff embedded in communities throughout West Virginia. Many students select a residency in the same area as their Statewide Campus rotation base when they graduate and ultimately stay to practice medicine. They become a part of the community.

After reviewing this report, I trust you will be as enthusiastic as I am regarding WVSOM’s excellent program.

The future is indeed bright at WVSOM.

Warm regards,

Charles H. Davis, D.O.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Michael D. Adelman, D.O., D.P.M., J.D. WVSOM PRESIDENT

WOW! It’s hard to believe that another year has flown by—and what a great year it has been! The stories and statistics on the pages that follow are a testament to the many successes of our faculty, staff and students over the past twelve months.

“WVSOM is no longer a ‘well kept secret.’ Our reputation continues to grow and shine throughout the state and all over this nation!”

- MICHAEL ADELMAN, D.O., D.P.M., J.D.

The year started with a terrible flood in our community. Our faculty, staff and students went to work immediately to help flood victims—raising funds, gathering goods, food and water. In addition, they reached out to the local community physically by digging out mud from homes and basements and providing more than a thousand hours of community service to help our neighbors get back on their feet. It was a truly amazing effort and we are very proud of our WVSOM family.

On a happier note, we celebrated the opening of our new Student Center.

Fifty-four thousand square feet of space housing a restaurant, open and quiet study areas, a recreation center and a conference center, all dedicated to our students and to the community.

The year continued with the passing of major state legislation, which gave WVSOM more autonomy, and recognized WVSOM to be on equal footing with WVU and Marshall University. Also during this time, the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission’s annual Health Sciences and Rural Health Report noted that WVSOM has more physicians practicing rural medicine in the state than the other two medical schools. In addition, we have the most physicians practicing primary care in the state and, for the first time, more physicians overall staying and practicing medicine in West Virginia.

Other accolades include being acknowledged for the 19th consecutive year as one of the top medical schools by U.S. News & World Report, and for the sixth consecutive year we were recognized as a Great College to Work For,

by The Chronicle of Higher Education.

WVSOM is no longer a “well kept secret.” Our reputation continues to grow and shine throughout the state and all over this nation! I invite you to explore our annual report and to celebrate our accomplishments with us.

Best regards,

Michael Adelman, D.O., D.P.M., J.D.

LEGISLATIVE BILLS PROVIDE SCHOOLS WITH MORE AUTONOMY During the 2017 legislative session, two important bills were passed that provide significant opportunities for WVSOM. The first bill, House Bill 2542, gives WVSOM and other colleges in the state the ability to have more autonomy with regard to its employees. It allows our Board of Governors to set personnel policies and compensation packages based on our market, rather than having to rely on the previous system, which “cookie cut” compensation and policies throughout the state. This will make our school more competitive for attracting faculty and staff.

state system were more highly regulated. This year, Governor Jim Justice’s office submitted House Bill 2815, which the legislature supported and passed, to give WVSOM and Marshall University the same autonomy as WVU and, in fact, increased autonomy for all three schools. Rules governing tuition and fees, purchasing and the start of new programs are among the multiple items described in the bill. During the next year, administration, faculty, and staff will work closely with our Board of Governors to develop new policies in order to implement these bills.

For many years, West Virginia University has had greater independence regarding the ability to develop and implement many other policies, while the other colleges and universities in the

FIRST AND SECOND YEARS: PATIENT PRESENTATION CURRICULUM

WVSOM developed its Patient Presentation Curriculum (PPC) to encourage students to take a more active role in their education. The PPC is centered on the most common ways patients present to their physician. Rather than passively sitting back and listening to hour after hour of lecture, faculty use case openings and closings to draw students into discussions about presenting symptoms, physical signs they may expect, what the cause could be and what disease processes are occurring. The use of flipped classrooms, Team Based Learning (TBL) and application sessions allow the students to apply the knowledge they are learning.

In student labs, students acquire and hone the skills necessary to treat patients. During Clinical Skills 1, students learn how to carry out patient interviews and perform patient physicals. The Clinical Skills 2 course allows students time in provider offices and the opportunity to participate in skills labs such as scrub, suture and ultrasound. The Osteopathic Principles and Practice course teaches students the skills to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients using osteopathic manipulation. Sessions with standardized patients, 24 high-fidelity human simulators and interprofessional experiences further enhance the learning experience.

Soon after arriving on campus for the fall semester, first-year students are introduced to the Peer Mentor Program.

First-year students are each assigned a second-year student to assist them in making the transition to medical school.

Every first-year student is assigned a peer mentor prior to orientation; during the 2016-2017 fiscal year, 135 members of the second-year class (Class of 2020) formally mentored the entire first-year class (Class of 2021). Due to the increased efforts to build rapport and camaraderie between the first- and second-year classes, many students established mentoring relationships on an informal basis as well.

CLINICAL EVALUATION CENTER WVSOM’s Clinical Evaluation Center (CEC) is at the core of the WVSOM student experience. WVSOM believes that patient-centered care begins with hands-on learning.

Within the walls of the CEC, students experience working with human-patient simulators in a variety of scenarios to expose students to a wide spectrum of patient encounters.

Using technology and innovation, WVSOM faculty can quickly design, monitor and review student responses. Labs dedicated to routine procedures

such as suturing and casting instill confidence in reallife encounters. Standardized patients are used to hone communication and physical diagnosis skills, placing students in a clinic-like environment and context.

The 2016-2017 year included an expanded level of technology and training in the area of handheld ultrasounds, and impressed upon students the importance of ethical handling of Electronic Health Records (EHR).

Since August 2011, WVSOM’s CEC has integrated multidisciplinary training in EHRs throughout the curriculum. This training includes seminars on broad concepts supplemented with online modules, didactic lectures and handson experiences. Students gain instruction of EHRs in communication labs featuring standardized patient encounters that are conducted in a realistic clinical environment at the CEC. In such encounters, students demonstrate essential multi-tasking skills by managing the EHRs and maintaining patient interaction. Students also gain experience using a web-based Electronic Medical Record (EMR) during hospital-based simulations that prepares them for electronic charts in most hospitals.

Handheld ultrasound equipment provides a costeffective ultrasound option for smaller clinics, rural practices and emergent situations. Elizabeth Ziner, D.O., assistant director of medical simulation in the CEC, introduced second year WVSOM students to this technology as part of the cardiac examination.

Faculty members Jandy Hanna, Ph.D. and Emily Thomas, D.O. are also incorporating use of the handheld equipment into the curriculum. Dr. Hanna utilizes the devices during first-year student anatomy lab and Dr. Thomas is interested in second-year students integrating them in lung findings.

“Visualization of structures in the human body brings the anatomy of the patient to life. The point of care ultrasound is becoming a mainstay in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. We are exposing students to this vital piece of equipment early in their education.

Our goal is to integrate ultrasound training throughout the curriculum to create a seamless transition into their residencies,” Ziner said.

THIRD AND FOURTH YEARS:

STATEWIDE CAMPUS (SWC) In the third and fourth years, students are assigned to one of seven regions in the state where 24 hospitals serve as base sites for their medical education. Additionally, 40 other hospitals in the region serve as training sites for third- and fourth-year students.

Within the Statewide Campus, third-year students fulfill the majority of their core clinical rotations, which include eight weeks each of family medicine and internal medicine, plus four weeks each of general surgery, psychiatry, pediatrics, OB-GYN and emergency medicine.

In the third year, students complete four weeks of an elective and four weeks of a Dean selective course.

During this time, WVSOM’s Rural Health Initiative provides students interested in rural medicine the chance to enhance and expand their rural rotation experiences.

Students take advantage of international experiences through clubs and elective rotations.

In the fourth year, students are required to complete rotations of eight weeks each in surgery, internal medicine and family medicine. Additionally, students must complete four weeks of pediatrics and 10 weeks of electives. The fourth year may be completed at their current Statewide Campus site, another SWC site, or at an approved site of their choosing.

BENEFITS OF STATEWIDE CAMPUS ►► Benefits for students

SWC provides students with an opportunity to see quality patient care provided in rural communities.

The program also emphasizes the importance of establishing a strong doctor-patient relationship and seeing the importance of helping patients navigate the health care marketplace to receive the care they need. ►► Benefits for West Virginia

When students complete their rotations in West Virginia, they are more likely to complete a residency in West Virginia and, ultimately, they are more likely to stay in West Virginia as physicians.

WVSOM students participate in SWC orientation.

A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

46 WVSOM STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN APPROVED INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCES DURING THE 2016-17 ACADEMIC YEAR

WVSOM’S CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL MEDICINE AND CULTURAL CONCERNS: INTERNATIONAL STUDIES PROGRAM In 2009, WVSOM formally established the WVSOM-Center for International Medicine and Cultural Concerns (CIMCC). CIMCC provides students the opportunity to participate in global medical training experiences while ensuring academic integrity.

During the 2016-17 school year, 46 students participated in a WVSOM approved international experience.

WVSOM prides itself on producing first-class, dedicated primary care physicians, with its main mission focused on rural and primary care medicine for the residents of West 18 ANNUAL REPORT 2017 www.wvsom.edu

Virginia and the Appalachian region.

WVSOM also recognizes the importance of creating well-rounded, culturally sensitive physicians who are aware of global health issues.

Prior to 2009, less than three WVSOM students took part in an international rotation. In addition, the International Medical Club/PAX and the Christian Medical & Dental Association (CMDA) Club participated in medical service and medical mission trips during spring breaks. Since 2009, more than 350 students have participated in international medical experiences, largely in rural underserved areas.

30 ANNUAL REPORT 2017 www.wvsom.edu

The work toward healing and re-building after the disastrous flood began in the early days of the 2016-2017 fiscal year. The WVSOM family’s commitment to service and passionate care was evident in the early days of recovery, but also throughout the year.

Looking back over the year, we are thankful for WVSOM faculty, staff and students who helped residents and communities in West Virginia recover from the record rainfall that hit the southeastern and central portions of the state on June 23, 2016.

Within two days after the storm subsided, WVSOM employees and students began helping with general flood clean-up and collected and distributed multiple car and truck loads of donated items to Rupert, Alderson, White Sulphur Springs, Renick, the United Way of Greenbrier Valley and the Greenbrier County Humane Society. They also raised more than $15,882 according to Shannon Warren, WVSOM Alumni Association director. She, along with WVSOM employee Joyce Martin, helped coordinate the school’s flood relief efforts.

200+

STUDENTS VOLUNTEERED More than 200 student volunteers provided hands-on assistance to local residents throughout Greenbrier County during WVSOM Cares. A group of students assisted in flood recovery efforts in White Sulphur Springs and Rainelle by removing large household appliances and furniture and ripping out carpet and flooring covered in mud.

“We are a community and going into this profession means we want to help people in any way that we can,” said Ethan Stephens, then WVSOM Student Government Association president.

“A lot of people lost homes and loved ones and we wanted to do what we could to alleviate the stress of dealing with that. I can’t even imagine having to go through something like that and losing everything you have. It was eye-opening.”

ANNUAL REPORT 2017 31 www.wvsom.edu

Faculty members were also involved in the recovery.

According to Craig Boisvert, WVSOM vice president for academic affairs and dean, faculty members provided medical evaluations, Osteopathic Manipulation Therapy (OMT) and assistance to victims alongside the West Virginia National Guard.

Jill Cochran, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Clinical Sciences Department, spent the entire weekend administering tetanus shots to victims and volunteers working in the flooded waters.

Cochran’s son, who works for Fairmont Supply Company, an industrial cleaning distributor headquartered in Washington, Pa., coordinated an estimated $10,000 donation of cleaning supplies and water for impacted communities. The shipment arrived on the WVSOM campus and were allocated to community organizations for those in need.

Bridgett Morrison, D.O. was one of the faculty administering

TETANUS SHOTS to victims and volunteers

WVSOM’s Robert C. Byrd Clinic, in cooperation with the school, received a donation of 200 pairs of Rocky brand mud boots that were provided to community organizations.

“I’m proud that our faculty, staff and students joined together to help the community members who are always supportive of WVSOM,” said Michael Adelman, D.O., president of WVSOM. “They once again demonstrated their passion to serve our community.”

The spirit of caring did not stop there. Throughout the year students made time in their busy schedules to care for people in the community. In WVSOM’s Day of Caring 2016, more than 200 students filled the need at 13 project sites, which included areas ravaged by the flood.

WVSOM FOUNDATION ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ANNUAL FUND The former 5 for 5 Campaign transitioned into the new Annual Fund during the last fiscal year. This expanded annual giving opportunity will still provide donor recognition through leaves, acorns and foundation rocks on the “Donor Tree” located in the Technology Center Building, but it also now offers partnership opportunities for corporate partners who wish to support WVSOM with even larger contributions.

Every Annual Fund gift supports two components: 75 percent goes to unrestricted funds and 25 percent goes to build the recently named “Cheryl and Michael Adelman Endowment,” which establishes reserves for future support. The endowment was named to honor the foresight, leadership and commitment of Drs. Adelman, who began the 5 for 5 Campaign with their own substantial contribution to establish an annual giving vehicle for WVSOM a number of years ago. Two young alumni, Dr. Angela Pendleton and Dr. Michael Antolini, both of the Class of 2012, stepped forward to chair the 2017 “Let’s Get Growing” Annual Fund Campaign with a goal of raising $100,000 in the calendar year of 2017. The campaign kicked off with a $10,000 matching gift, and has been enhanced by several

corporate partnerships with five-year commitments. Current partners include Little General Stores, Haven Ltd., Davis Eye Center, The Manchin Clinic, West Virginia Osteopathic Medical Association, West Virginia State Medical Association, Premier Bank and BB&T. As of June 30, 2017, the campaign had raised nearly $80,000 toward the annual $100,000 goal to be completed in December of 2017. The unrestricted portion of the Annual Fund supports activities such as student mission trips, extracurricular learning activities and conferences, guest lecturers and areas of greatest need. It is also used to supplement scholarships and provide resources for the Student Emergency Fund.

SCHOLARSHIPS

$2.5 MILLION RECEIVED $255,950 GIVEN Thanks to the generosity of donors, the overall investment in combined scholarship endowments exceeded $2.5 million this year. As a result, the total amount given in scholarships and awards through the WVSOM Foundation this year was $255,950. A new scholarship endowment was established this year by Dr. and Mrs. Richard McClung in memory of his father, Dr. Eugene McClung. In addition, new awards

were made from two existing endowments for the first time this year. Two scholarships were awarded from the John and Nancy Chambers Memorial Scholarship Fund and one award was given from the endowment established by the West Virginia State Medical Association Alliance. In an effort to increase contributions to existing scholarship endowments, the foundation also created individual “scholarship cards” describing the details of each endowment and how to make additional gifts. The WVSOM Foundation board continues to focus on increasing scholarship dollars for students as the foundation’s number one priority, and hope this positive momentum will increase in the coming year and beyond.

PLANNED GIVING

$97,000 RECEIVED The WVSOM Foundation established an opportunity for donors who wish to make a significant charitable gift to WVSOM during their life or at death as part of their financial or estate plan. This can be accomplished through a number of options, including gifts of appreciated stock, which could provide tax advantages to donors and/or their beneficiaries. This year, the WVSOM Foundation received more than $97,000 because of an estate gift.

Anyone interested in discussing the various individual options for planned gifts may contact Heather Antolini at 304-647-6374.

TOTAL FUNDS UNDER MANAGEMENT Total funds under management grew from $35,878,099 at the end of the last fiscal year (June 30, 2016) to $44,001,312 as of June 30, 2017. This includes custodial monies invested on behalf of the school.

However, funds managed by the foundation outside the WVSOM investment agreement grew from $5,453,230 to $7,373,685 during

this fiscal year, representing a growth rate of 35 percent, thanks to new donors and strong investment returns.

STUDENT SUPPORT The WVSOM Foundation enjoyed several opportunities to provide direct support to students this year. In addition to providing funds to support students who attended the annual “D.O. Day on the Hill,” in Washington, D.C., the foundation also secured resources to purchase medical supplies for the PAX Club’s annual mission trip, sponsored the Grand Affair, and assisted several students who represented WVSOM at national conferences, just to name a few. In addition, the WVSOM Foundation sponsored its third annual “Money Matters for Medical Students,” an educational event to provide students with resources and tools for responsible financial management. The annual event has proven so successful that it will be officially integrated into the curriculum for the coming year.

has been the new Student Emergency Fund, which has provided nearly $10,000 this year in support for individual students experiencing personal emergencies. This fund was established to assist individual students who experience personal tragedies creating a need for emergency financial assistance. In order to grow this fund on a continuing basis, the WVSOM Foundation is dedicating all receipts from Amazon Smile and Kroger Community Rewards to the Student Emergency Fund.

Both Amazon Smile and Kroger Community Rewards are programs whereby customers can sign up for free to dedicate a percentage of their purchase to be given to their favorite charity, the WVSOM Foundation. It costs the individual customer nothing, but provides a great benefit to WVSOM students. All a customer needs to do is register online, and every time they shop after that, a portion of what they spend is sent to the WVSOM Foundation.

OTHER ACTIVITIES Other WVSOM Foundation activities included the third annual “Thank-a-Thon” to express the foundation’s gratitude to the many donors who have supported WVSOM and its students during the last year. Under the leadership of the Foundation Student Committee, students spent the day making personal phone calls to more than 500 individual donors just to say “thank you” and tell them how their gifts have made a difference in the experience of students.

The WVSOM Foundation was also pleased to assist the WVSOM Alumni Association with sponsoring the family picnic at the WVSOM Summer Seminar at Myrtle Beach, S.C. in June.

However, the most meaningful and rewarding program toward student support ANNUAL REPORT 2017 49 www.wvsom.edu
