WVSOM offers access to the Banner Student Self-Service system where students can review grades, unofficial transcripts, financial and other valuable student record information. Both applicants and students can make payments on their WVSOM accounts by using the WV State Treasurer’s Office EPay site http://epay.wvsto.com/WVSOM_ePay/wvsom1.aspx .

Utilizing these cards, faculty can incorporate electronic polling, and electronic responses from students into their PowerPoint lecture presentations throughout the year. During the third and fourth years, students are based throughout West Virginia for clinical training. Students on rotation can access grade forms, site evaluation forms, required reading lists, electronic exams and more via WVSOM’s secure website. Students can be tested without returning to campus, and site evaluations are submitted electronically. WVSOM also maintains a graduation website. From a congratulatory message to schedules and forms that need to be completed, students can complete all required documents for graduation with a few keystrokes from their off-site location. The website provides a link to community resources for students and their families to make plans for celebrations by making reservations at local hotels and restaurants. WVSOM is proud of its commitment to the latest technology for student education. We are dedicated to staying abreast of the latest trends and teaching tools and continue to strive to stay on the cutting edge of medical education.
