West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine - WVSOM

Located in historic Lewisburg, WVSOM’s 68-acre campus combines green spaces and tree-shaded areas with new and recently renovated buildings.

WVSOM’s state-of-the-art Clinical Evaluation Center includes a clinic setting with 24 examination rooms for use with standardized patients, a hospital setting with a four-bed emergency room suite, a birthing suite and general simulation rooms to house 25 human patient simulators, and the John Manchin II DO Conference Hall.

The Center for Rural Medicine and Technology is a cutting-edge instructional facility housing two modern 200-seat lecture halls, a commons area, and office space.

A newly constructed 26,000 square foot, 234-seat Testing Hall provides students with a quiet, reduced distraction, and secure space for their on campus exams.  We also have dedicated space for students who receive test accommodations.  While not being used for exams, the Testing Hall is available for quiet study.

A 55,000-square-foot Student Center includes student recreation area, SGA offices, open and quiet student study space, the campus store, a food service area, and a 1,000-seat meeting hall. 

Other WVSOM facilities include:

The Fredric W. Smith Science Building; the Admissions Center; the Founders’ Activity Center, a recreation and fitness facility for students, faculty, staff and their families; the Robert C. Byrd Clinic, an on-campus primary care clinic, provides varied clinical training opportunities; and the Roland P.
