The West Virginia University School of Medicine is the professional school for the study of medicine and other health professions at West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia. The medical school was established in 1902 as the first such institution in the state of West Virginia, and remains one of only three medical schools in the state.
The school is organized into three campuses. The main campus in Morgantown is located in the WVU Health Sciences Center, a 2,000,000 sq.ft. medical complex that is also home to the Schools of Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy and Public Health.[1] All medical students spend their first two years before moving on to complete their clinical work during their final two years in the program. Students can choose to complete their rotations at either the Morgantown campus, the Charleston Campus in the state capital of Charleston or the Eastern Campus in Martinsburg. Students who remain in Morgantown will practice at J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital, a 690-bed academic medical center and Level 1 Trauma Center.[2] Charleston Campus is located the Charleston Area Medical Center's Memorial Hospital campus.[3] WVU's Eastern Campus provides a community-based, direct clinical experience and teaches students in Berkeley Medical Center in Martinsburg and Jefferson Medical Center in Ranson. All hospitals are part of the WVU Medicine system.
