The mission of the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine (WVSOM) is to educate students from diverse backgrounds as lifelong learners in osteopathic medicine and

complementary health-related programs; to support and develop graduate medical education training;

to advance scientific knowledge through academic, clinical and basic science research; and to

promote patient-centered, evidence-based

medicine. WVSOM is dedicated to serve, first and foremost, the state of West Virginia and the health care needs of its

residents, emphasizing primary care in rural areas.

est wishes for a happy and healthy 2025 from the WVSOM Board of Governors. As we thankfully reflect on the many accomplishments and the growth WVSOM experienced in 2024, we look forward to maintaining the highest standards in meeting the health care needs of West Virginians.

Last summer, the Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences program was successfully launched, recruiting 26 new students to WVSOM to this innovative program. The incoming Class of 2028 achieved full capacity, despite the growing popularity of competing osteopathic medical education programs. The graduating Class of 2024 obtained a 100% residency placement rate.

Our institution’s Annual Report demonstrates a consistent pattern of financial stability. Due to continued and increasing alumni support, ambitious fundraising efforts and all-time high research grants, WVSOM continues to fulfill its mission to educate students in osteopathic medicine and health-related graduate programs.

All these accomplishments are made possible by the efforts of the school’s dedicated faculty and staff, led by President James Nemitz, Ph.D. I had the honor of speaking to the Class of 2028 during its White Coat Ceremony last fall. My eldest daughter, an aspiring author, has always advised me to write about what I know, what is familiar. During the track season, I spent most every Saturday watching both of my daughters compete in cross-country races.

Noting the parallels between medical school and endurance sports, I reminded students of the wisdom of showing up, putting in the work and relying on their team when the course feels mostly uphill. I hope our students are becoming increasingly confident in their training and feeling the wind at their backs as another semester is added to the training log. I hope their eyes are on the finish line, and that they are doling out some fist bumps and high fives along the way.

May WVSOM’s administration, faculty, staff, alumni and Board of Governors continue this worthwhile journey. I am confident that 2025 will bring continued investment of our collective gifts in order to improve the health and well-being of our communities.

Randall Belt, D.O.

4 ANNUAL REPORT 2024 www.wvsom.edu

WVSOM remains in a financially secure position. Our total net assets increased considerably this fiscal year. Extramural funding rose from $3,519,137 to $9,493,556, and total funding from WVSOM’s Center for Rural and Community Health increased as well. Funds received by the WVSOM Foundation nearly tripled over the previous year, increasing from $816,200 to $2,207,426 thanks to our generous donors and some significant estate gifts provided by individuals whose careers were profoundly impacted by this school.

W

hen WVSOM introduced its “Finding Health” curriculum, it marked a new chapter in the school’s history. Our new curriculum — named for a quote by A.T. Still, D.O., the founder of osteopathic medicine — allows us to provide a learner-centered education that will make wellness both an integral part of the medical school experience and one of the foundations on which our graduates treat their future patients. I’m proud of our faculty and administration for proving that it’s possible to deliver the highest-quality medical education while prioritizing students’ well-being.

But the purpose of this Annual Report is to look back at the past year, and it has truly been a time of achievement and growth for WVSOM. In January 2024, our Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences program was accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, allowing us to expand our degree offerings for the first time in the school’s history.

We spent the first half of the calendar year recruiting students for this innovative program, and the result was a strong inaugural class that exceeded our expectations and stands poised to increase in 2025.

Our D.O. program’s Class of 2024 had a 100% residency placement rate, a testament to our academic program, our graduate medical education staff and our students’ hard work. We have 3,969 graduates who practice in 52 of West Virginia’s 55 counties and in all 50 states, which means our impact on health care reaches farther than ever before.

Students are getting hands-on experience in WVSOM’s Clinical Evaluation Center in their first and second years, and students continue to provide more than one million health care hours annually in our Statewide Campus system during their third and fourth years. More students worked on research projects or conducted other scholarly activities in the 2023-24 academic year, and more gave back to those around them by participating in community service projects. I’m inspired by the countless stories I hear of our students having a positive influence on the communities in which they live.

Thanks to the legislators who represent West Virginia, we received a $6 million federal appropriation in spring 2024 to aid in the planned expansion of the research facility on WVSOM’s main campus in Lewisburg. In conjunction with an earlier $29 million state appropriation, the school has received a total of $35 million in funding for this important project, which will fuel our ability to remain competitive with other medical schools and increase our scientific influence.

The campus also grew with the opening of our Testing Center, a 234-seat hall designed to allow students to be tested in an environment that resembles those in which their national board exams are administered. And growth is happening with our facilities outside Greenbrier County, including the recent expansion of our Statewide Campus location in Charleston, W.Va. In the pages ahead you’ll find more examples of our accomplishments during the 2023-24 fiscal year. As WVSOM’s president, I couldn’t be more gratified that this exceptional school remains a leader in osteopathic medical education, and that its students, alumni, faculty and staff continue to excel. I extend my thanks to all who have supported us, and I hope that you “find health” and happiness right along with us.

Best regards,

James W. Nemitz, Ph.D.

WVSOM UPDATES PROGRAMMING WITH NEW FINDING HEALTH CURRICULUM, ACCREDITATION FOR MASTER’S PROGRAM In order to meet its mission and vision, and to foster a culture of wellness for its students, WVSOM has enhanced and expanded its educational model. This was accomplished by incorporating a new curriculum for its osteopathic medical students and offering a biomedical sciences program for master’s degree students.

FINDING HEALTH CURRICULUM The Finding Health curriculum was implemented in July 2024 for students in the Class of 2028, and incorporates wellness, nutrition, exercise, lifestyle and preventive medicine. It is named for a quote by A.T. Still, D.O., the founder of osteopathic medicine, that states: “To find health should be the object of the doctor. Anyone can find disease.”

Under the new curriculum, students spend their first two years at WVSOM completing eight organ system-based course blocks along with two integrated longitudinal courses — Clinical Skills and Osteopathic Principles and Practice — and two curricular threads.

Each course provides an integrated review of normal human structure and function followed by the clinical presentation and underlying mechanism of disease and available treatments.

The curriculum affords students a one-week break after each course block. All course exams take place on Fridays so that students can have what is referred to as a “golden weekend,” free from studying.

Classroom time is minimized to allow free time for studying or extracurricular events. Fridays when no exams are scheduled are reserved for medical simulation, small-group activities, point-of-care ultrasound or other learning activities.

MASTER OF SCIENCE IN BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES WVSOM’s Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences degree program — which received accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission in January 2024 — is a two-semester, nine-month program. It includes a core of biomedical sciences courses designed to prepare students for advanced study in any health profession, as well as a health sciences thread that introduces students to the principles of community and public health.

WVSOM’s graduate program also places an emphasis on lifestyle and chronic disease prevention — an issue of value to the state of West Virginia, which has some of the highest rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease in the nation — by teaching the science behind those issues. The medical school’s existing Culinary Medicine and Exercise is Medicine courses allow students to take a closer look at health maintenance and wellness through nutrition, dietary patterns and exercise.

RURAL HEALTH INITIATIVE

The Rural Health Initiative's (RHI) mission is to enhance the rural primary care curriculum at WVSOM in order to produce graduates uniquely qualified to practice in underserved communities of West Virginia. In addition to offering rural training opportunities to all students, WVSOM operates an intensive RHI program that provides special training and enrichment opportunities to students who express the strongest interest in rural practice.

The Rural Physician Service Program incentivizes WVSOM students to remain in West Virginia by offering financial awards in exchange for their commitment to practice in eligible rural or underserved areas within the state. This year, 10 students were selected to receive $22,000 each, and agreed to practice in these critical service sites for one year. Additionally, these students benefit from enhanced rural health training during medical school through the RHI program.

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 local 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 Day of Service event.
