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

CHAIR, WVSOM BOARD OF GOVERNORS

I’m always amazed when I stop to reflect on the events and accomplishments that occur at WVSOM in any given year. With so many celebrations and successes, it’s hard to believe that all these great things can happen in just one year, the 2017-18 academic year being no exception.

“I’m not only impressed with the academic aspect of the experience at WVSOM, but also the way in which our students immerse themselves in volunteer and research opportunities to better serve the communities where they will eventually practice.”

- CHARLES H. DAVIS, D.O.

Of course, we continue to teach a curriculum that prepares our students to be great future physicians. Year after year, our faculty and staff do a great job supporting our students in their journey toward becoming osteopathic physicians. However, I’m not only impressed with the academic aspect of the experience at WVSOM, but also the way in which our students immerse themselves in volunteer and research opportunities to better serve the communities where they will eventually practice.

Two things that clearly stand out from this past academic year are the retirement of President Michael Adelman, D.O., D.P.M., J.D., and the subsequent appointment of WVSOM’s seventh president, Dr. James Nemitz. As chairman of the WVSOM Board of Governors, I was honored to announce the appointment of the next person to lead our fine institution, James W. Nemitz, Ph.D. While our board agreed it would be difficult to replace Dr. Adelman, considering his immense contributions to the growth and national recognition of WVSOM, we were confident that Dr. Nemitz was the best candidate to continue the indelible legacy created during Dr. Adelman’s tenure. Transitions always have challenges, but I know without a doubt that this changing of the guard will be virtually seamless.

With a new president and a new vision for WVSOM, I look forward to even more accomplishments, accolades and achievements to proudly recall. It’s all part of building on the legacy ingrained in WVSOM’s history. As an alumnus, Board of Governors member and overall supporter of the school, I’m eager to see the next chapter at WVSOM.

Warm regards,

Charles H. Davis, D.O.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT James W. Nemitz, Ph.D. WVSOM PRESIDENT

“It truly takes the work of everyone to make WVSOM great and to make a difference in the lives of others, especially here in our beautiful state of West Virginia.”

- James W. Nemitz, Ph.D.

Can you believe it? Another year has gone by, and once again it’s amazing to think about all that has happened. The past academic year has definitely been one of change; especially for me personally, as I was appointed to the role of WVSOM president in January after Michael Adelman, D.O., D.P.M., J.D., announced his retirement.

It’s so exciting for me to write this letter in my new role after serving WVSOM for more than 30 years. I am humbled and filled with gratitude to serve as the seventh president, and I look forward to working with many different groups to move this great institution forward.

When I look back at all of WVSOM’s accomplishments in JUST ONE YEAR, I am filled with pride and satisfaction. It is such an empowering feeling to witness the school’s transformation in its 40-plus years of existence and be part of its successes. During the 2017-18 year, we reached many milestones. We were recognized

by U.S. News and World Report as one of the nation’s top medical schools for the 20th consecutive year and we were once again named a Great College to Work For by The Chronicle of Higher Education. We received multiple awards from the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM) for our print publications, we worked to establish more awareness about the drug epidemic through opioid toolkits that continue to be created for every county in the state and we celebrated another class of graduates who will no doubt make an

incredible impact in the communities they serve.

I am always in awe of the great things we accomplish here at WVSOM each year. I love this school and care for it deeply, which is why I am thrilled to see it succeed. It truly takes the work of everyone to make WVSOM great and to make a difference in the lives of others, especially here in our beautiful state of West Virginia.

As one academic year concludes and another begins, I’d like to announce a “Living Our Mission” initiative that I’m excited to see unfold. The initiative encourages students, faculty, staff, alumni and WVSOM supporters to get involved in their communities by serving others. I want to see WVSOM’s reach throughout the state and nation. Please send me photos that include “Living Our Mission” bandanas so we are inspired to make a difference in our communities.

I look forward to another successful year with even more accomplishments to make us proud.

WVSOM continues to be a leader in osteopathic medical education, and I want nothing more than for this institution to be the best that it can be! I encourage you to review this annual report and celebrate WVSOM’s many accomplishments.

Best regards,

James W. Nemitz, Ph.D. ANNUAL REPORT 2018 5 www.wvsom.edu

CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP The 2017-18 academic year included the announcement and appointment of James W. Nemitz, Ph.D., as WVSOM’s seventh president and ended with the retirement of President Michael Adelman, D.O., J.D., D.P.M.

seems increasingly rare are moralistic, humane motives propelling these wonderful end results. Dr. Michael Adelman, as one, should be held in the utmost esteem, for his motives ring as pure and good as his humane results that benefit all the institutions and people he touches.”

Adelman served as WVSOM’s president for eight years and acted as a mentor to Nemitz throughout his time in a leadership position.

Before his retirement, Adelman was recognized by local groups for his outstanding leadership of WVSOM and was named 2018 Business Leader of the Year during the Greater Greenbrier Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner and Meeting.

“Dr. Adelman has been a great mentor to me. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and thoughtful person to help me understand what it takes to be a president,” Nemitz said.

“Positive outcomes and good deeds do occur amidst a chaotic world landscape,” Steven Sarver, WVSOM Board of Governors member, said at the time. “However, what

The WVSOM Board of Governors appointed Nemitz as the medical school’s president in January. Nemitz, who has been employed with WVSOM for more than 30 years and

recently served as the school’s vice president for administration and external relations, began his role on July 1, 2018.

“I am truly honored to be selected as the next president of WVSOM. This is a place that I’ve devoted a majority of my career, it’s a place that I love with all my heart and it’s a place that I deeply care about,” Nemitz said after his announcement.

Charles Davis, D.O., WVSOM’s Board of Governors chairman, said he was honored to announce the appointment of Nemitz as the next president.

“As a Board of Governors, we believe Dr. Nemitz is the best candidate to continue the indelible legacy Dr. Adelman has created during his tenure, as well as lead the school.

Transitions always have challenges; however, I anticipate this changing of the guard to be virtually seamless,” he said.

ACADEMICS AND OUR LEARNING ENVIRONMENT Our rigorous program produces physicians who are dedicated, disciplined and committed to mastering knowledge and embracing a compassionate bedside manner. The patient-centered curricular structure offers a clinically integrated approach to medical education.

12 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 www.wvsom.edu

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 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 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 to conduct 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.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT The West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine offers several programs that support academic performance.

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

Prior to orientation, first-year students are each assigned a second-year student to assist them in making the transition to medical school. During the 2017-2018 fiscal year, 136 members of the secondyear class (Class of 2021) formally mentored the entire first-year class. (Class of 2022). 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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2018 13 www.wvsom.edu

CLINICAL EVALUATION CENTER

WVSOM’s Clinical Evaluation Center (CEC) is where students get the practical, hands-on experience that lies at the heart of the school’s approach to medical education. Besides offering labs on a variety of topics ranging from basic practices such as sterile technique, gowning and gloving, and electronic health records to specialized subjects such as pharmacology, respiratory medicine and cardiac life support, the center allows students to learn through the use of simulated patient encounters. If the classroom is where students acquire knowledge, WVSOM’s CEC is where they experience the firsthand application of that knowledge, in a setting where faculty are available to provide support.

Additions and expansions to the CEC’s offerings are continually being considered. For the fall 2017 semester, a Clinical Skills 2 ultrasound lab was expanded into a full elective course as a result of real-world demands that physicians know how to use the imaging equipment during emergency medicine residencies.

STUDENT INTERACTIONS

SIMULATION WEEK With its first-ever Healthcare Simulation Week, WVSOM demonstrated in September 2017 why the concept of simulation — the creation of realistic circumstances to teach skills and enhance competencies — has quickly become an integral part of how medical students are taught. During the weeklong event, faculty, staff and students competed in a simulation contest to locate Automated External Defibrillators on campus; faculty and staff observed second-year students working on an open lab case; participants took part in a moulage demonstration; and attendees observed an emergency room and an obstetrics simulation as part of a “Life in the ER” presentation.

Healthcare Simulation Week celebrates professionals who use simulation to improve the safety, effectiveness and efficiency of health care delivery and is sponsored by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, by whom WVSOM is accredited. Simulation-based training encompasses a broad range of experiences, including the use of task trainers, human-patient simulators and learning various technical procedures that range from suturing to delivering babies.

It also includes standardized patients (role players who act as patients).

OPEN LAB OPPORTUNITIES One key to the CEC’s effectiveness is the opportunity it allows for open labs, where students reinforce the knowledge they’ve learned in class through hands-on practice. WVSOM students can participate in these optional sessions as they wish, to prepare for an exam or to work on areas in which they feel they need additional learning. Many of the open labs involve the use of standardized patients or human-patient simulators that educators can program to mimic an assortment of human physiological responses. Students attend these labs in groups, then participate in a session where faculty members help them “talk through” what they experienced with the simulated patients.

Open lab opportunities change as students’ course work progresses throughout the year. “We look at the curriculum and try to give students what they need,” said Gail Swarm, D.O., the CEC’s director. “For example, second-year students end their year with the high-stakes Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), so we set up a miniature version of it to help them prepare.

Open labs give students a safe, low-stakes environment for them to apply what they’re learning to the real world.”

WVSOM students provide approximately

1,050,000 HEALTH CARE HOURS

In their third and fourth years, students are assigned to one of seven regions in the state where 22 hospitals serve as base sites for their medical education. Additionally, 36 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 their third year, students complete four weeks of an elective and four weeks of a Dean’s 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 their 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 an approved site of their choosing.

BENEFITS OF STATEWIDE CAMPUS ►► Benefits for students

Statewide Campus gives students 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 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.

A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

19 WVSOM STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN APPROVED INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCES DURING THE 2017-18 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 2017-18 school year, 19 students participated in a WVSOMapproved international experience.

WVSOM prides itself on producing firstclass, dedicated primary care physicians, with its main mission focused on rural and primary care medicine for the residents of West Virginia and the Appalachian region.

18 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 www.wvsom.edu

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. Since then, more than 370 students have participated in international medical experiences, largely in rural underserved areas. These experiences were through required and elective rotations and through the DO CARES and the Christian Medical and Dental Association (CMDA) Club medical service and mission trips during spring breaks.

COMMITMENT TO SERVING OTHERS DEDICATION TO COMMUNITY SERVICE WVSOM believes that a commitment to helping others is integral to the education of future osteopathic physicians. The school works hard to foster in its students an eagerness to give back to people in the local area as well as communities in need around the world.

It does so through a variety of programs, from smaller, year-round fundraising events and donation drives to participation in national initiatives. Two examples of community service efforts at WVSOM are the Translating Osteopathic Understanding into Community Health (T.O.U.C.H.) program and the annual Heart of the Holidays event.

T.O.U.C.H. PROGRAM The T.O.U.C.H. program is a national initiative by the Council of Osteopathic Student Government Presidents (COSGP) and has been a part of WVSOM student life since 2007. The program encourages medical students to volunteer for community service work throughout the year, rewarding those who log more than 50 hours in a 12-month period with the designation of “silver” status and those accruing more than 100 hours with “gold” status. The student with the highest number of service hours each year is awarded “platinum” status.

For 2017-18, a total of 173 WVSOM students volunteered 11,900 hours of their time. Third-year student Amina Hamza, the year’s platinum awardee, worked locally caring for orphaned animals and taking pictures for the Greenbrier County Humane Society’s website. On a state level, Hamza worked with Mountaineer Spina Bifida Camp, a weeklong summer camp that offers recreational activities for

“Osteopathic medicine is about treating the whole person, and most of us sign up to be doctors so that we can help our communities. There’s so much we can do for people, and it’s not just medical.” - AMINA HAMZA, OMS III

young people with spina bifida. And globally, she volunteered for medical missions to countries including Mexico and Peru, providing free health care to those who needed it the most.

Hamza said a trip to South Africa left an indelible mark on her. “I volunteered at a soup kitchen, where we cooked for an underserved HIV/AIDS population. Additionally, the WVSOM team conducted a counseling session. I met one individual who felt especially isolated, both at home and in his community, and he was extremely happy our group was there to talk to them. He opened up about his feelings, and I’ve never felt so fulfilled and satisfied that my listening ears were able to provide comfort.”

Service to others is an essential component of the WVSOM experience, Hamza said. “The school does a great job of making it easy to get involved, and the T.O.U.C.H. program definitely encourages students to participate. Osteopathic medicine is about treating the whole person, and most of us sign up to be doctors so that we can help our communities. There’s so much we can do for people, and it’s not just medical.”

HEART OF THE HOLIDAYS

In December 2017, WVSOM students spread generosity and holiday cheer by helping nearly 50 children from 20 foster families have a better holiday season during the annual Heart of the Holidays event. The community service organization Sigma Sigma Phi (SSP) organized the event, which helps families provide a memorable Christmas for their children through donations of clothes and toys.

In addition to a gift opened with Santa, each child was given a gift to be taken home. WVSOM’s Pediatrics Club hosted a diaper drive and offered face painting in conjunction with the holiday event. The school’s Family Medicine Club hosted a cookie-decorating table, and SSP members operated a coloring book table.

Belinda Evans, WVSOM’s director of student life, said the event has a positive impact on participating families.

“When they attend the event here on campus, they are surrounded by loving, caring individuals who want to make the holiday a little less stressful,” she said.

VISION OF WELLNESS ONGOING, ADAPTIVE PURSUIT OF OPTIMAL EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL BALANCE WVSOM WELLNESS COMMITTEE IS COMMITTED TO: Fostering health and wellness in the work and educational environment

Ensuring accreditation standards and procedures related to health and wellness

WELLNESS COMMITTEE

DIVERSITY COMMITTEE

The Diversity Committee has continued to provide WVSOM students and employees opportunities to understand differences in culture and equity across a variety of identity categories, including socioeconomic status, national origin and rurality. The committee chair participates in the national American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine Diversity Council.

The WVSOM committee obtained a $6,000 grant from the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission to help fund a five-part educational series focused on how a patient’s culture impacts his or her ability to access health care and maintain good health.

The mental and physical health and well-being of employees and students is vital to the success of the WVSOM and its students and graduates, and is necessary to maintain safety and high standards of education and health care. WVSOM is committed to fostering health and wellness in the work and educational environment, and ensuring accreditation standards and procedures related to health and wellness, as set by the American Osteopathic Association Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation, are met.

Topics for the educational series included the concept of culture, Appalachian culture, storytelling and the application of each in medicine. The series also included a session on communication scenarios for students to interact with standardized patients of differing cultural backgrounds and identity categories.

The diversity groups hosted an art exhibit and film showing in Lewisburg for the general public. WVSOM students, specifically those from diverse backgrounds, aimed to build ties and engage in interactions with the local community in order to increase cultural understanding.

In June 2017, a committee was established to provide resources and avenues of wellness for students, faculty and staff. The committee comprises members from each constituency group on campus.

$6,000

The committee defined its Vision of Wellness as “Ongoing, adaptive pursuit of optimal emotional, physical and spiritual balance.”

On March 12, 2018, WVSOM hosted the first Wellness Activities Showcase, a gathering of employees and students interested in engaging in non-academic activities to promote wellness in the WVSOM community. Some of the interest groups included fitness/running, guided reflections, painting, cycling, martial arts, board/lawn games and making jam.

The Annual Fund slightly exceeded its first calendar year goal of $100,000 in December 2017 and has continued to grow in 2018. With its “Let’s Keep Growing” tagline, the campaign has increased annual and unrestricted contributions, which are used to address the areas of greatest need, unforeseen expenses and student emergencies, through several giving options. Tax-deductible contributions can now be made through monthly sustaining gifts of any amount and can be scheduled as automatic credit card payments (to earn rewards points) or electronic funds transfers directly from the donor’s bank account, making the process easy and seamless for donors. Corporate partnerships have also generously supported the fund through businesses making a five-year commitment to give $2,500 or more per year. This year, the number of corporate Annual Fund partners increased from eight to 12, and there is always room for more.

Donors who contribute to the Annual Fund are recognized through leaves, acorns and foundation stones on the “Donor Giving Tree” in the technology center building.

Unrestricted gifts are the most difficult to raise but are incredibly important in meeting the WVSOM Foundation’s mission to support the needs of the school. As a result, each gift to the Annual Fund supports two components: 75 percent is used to provide unrestricted funds for current use to meet areas of greatest need, and 25 percent is invested through the Cheryl and Michael Adelman Endowment to secure reserves for future support. The current, unrestricted portion of the Annual Fund is used to support activities such as student mission trips, extracurricular learning activities and conferences, guest lecturers and other areas of immediate need. It is also used to supplement scholarships and provide resources for the Student Emergency Fund.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR STUDENTS Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the WVSOM Foundation was able to provide $232,700 in scholarships to 64 students this year. The WVSOM Foundation board continues to focus on increasing scholarship dollars for students as the foundation’s top priority and hopes the positive momentum that has been established in recent years will increase in the coming year and beyond.

The need for student scholarships and financial assistance is greater than ever.

Students at medical schools throughout the country are graduating with an average debt in excess of $250,000.

Students at WVSOM are also affected by high debt, but the WVSOM Foundation is working toward a remedy. This year, the foundation put the infrastructure in place to establish a new endowment to ease the burden of debt for students.

The Legacy Scholarship Endowment will become the primary vehicle to develop meaningful scholarship dollars, with the goal of eventually providing tuition assistance to every student.

The New York University model has proven that a tuition-free environment can be achieved, and we want to follow their example. Watch for more detailed information to come as we roll out this opportunity in the coming year.

We have also begun an initiative to encourage hospitals and communities to contribute toward a new Student Financial Assistance program that would provide loan forgiveness for students who agree to work in the sponsoring community after completion of training.

PLANNED GIVING

STUDENT SUPPORT

The WVSOM Foundation spent much of the past year creating a framework to expand and develop planned giving opportunities. We now have a more comprehensive program with a variety of estate planning options for donors who wish to leave an ongoing legacy to WVSOM during their lifetime and beyond.

Providing direct support to students is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable tasks of the WVSOM Foundation. This year, we were especially pleased that the financial education program developed by the foundation during the past several years, “Money Matters for Medical Students,” was integrated as a required element of the WVSOM curriculum.

This three-part series provides students with foundational skills to assist them with essential financial management tasks such as budgeting, responsibly managing loan funds, understanding physician payment models and employment considerations, and various loan repayment or forgiveness options.

After making provisions for oneself and family, a bequest through a will or trust to the WVSOM Foundation could have a transformational impact on generations of physicians. It may also be eligible for important charitable income, gift or estate tax deductions. Funds from planned gifts provide essential support and may also be designated to help build our endowment funds. Through our enhanced program, donors can fund planned giving from a variety of assets including cash, marketable securities, real estate, life insurance, retirement accounts and certain personal property.

Gifts can be structured in a variety of ways, both during the donor’s lifetime and after, through direct bequests, residual income from retirement plans or life insurance policies, charitable lead trusts, life income gifts, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts or other options. Once all the possibilities are considered, donors will find that they can make a significant impact – in the present or in the future – that is greater than they imagined.

INDIVIDUALS, ORGANIZATIONS AND BUSINESSES INTERESTED IN GIVING SHOULD CONTACT

The WVSOM Foundation was also instrumental in providing funds to support supplemental educational opportunities and events including the DOCARE service trip, the D.O. Day on the Hill, the Grand Affair and student attendance at various national conferences.

Additionally, the foundation provided $16,000 to support individual students experiencing personal emergencies through the Student Emergency Fund.

One example of the important assistance made available through this fund was a grant that was immediately made available to a student who lost everything when her apartment caught fire as she was studying for her board exam while on her rotations. The foundation was able to transfer funds directly into her account within 24 hours of the fire so that she immediately had resources available to procure essential items and continue her education. In order to secure continuous resources for the Student Emergency Fund, the WVSOM Foundation dedicates all receipts from Amazon Smile and Kroger Community Rewards to this fund.

TAKE A SEAT The WVSOM Alumni Association launched the “Take a Seat” campaign in January 2018. This campaign allows donors to claim where they sat in the classroom, leaving a legacy of their time at WVSOM and providing support to future students through the WVSOM Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship Fund. A total of 592 seats in the current classrooms and the main building classrooms can be claimed.

Each donation of

$1,000 PER SEAT will help reduce student debt.

In recognition of and appreciation to Drs. Michael and Cheryl Adelman, two seats were donated on their behalf by faculty, staff and alumni and presented during Dr. Adelman’s retirement celebration.
