Has anyone that interviewed 2/13 in person heard back?
Has anyone that interviewed 2/13 in person heard back?
WVSOM has great hospital affiliations with all hospitals in WV. They had several students match into solid specialty programs last match.Could any current students talk about what residency placements and options are like? I'm wondering what kind of range a student can expect to experience. I know it is a rural school with a focus on rural and primary care medicine, but I'm hoping there is a chance to explore other specialties too. I'm a person with a lot of interests in just about every specialty there is, and I am hoping that I will be able to do a wide variety of rotations that will really help me narrow things down. One of my fears is that I won't be prepared enough to really pick well when it comes to residency applications, and I'm wondering if any current medical students have similar concerns about narrowing down and pinpointing their exact interests within medicine?
Our 1st year breakdown is below. It's currently a spiral block curriculum, meaning we typically revisit an organ system multiple times before closing it out at the end of second year. We've been told the curriculum is in the process of changing, however it's hard to say what that means for currently matriculating students. As for golden weekends, you'll have one after each exam if the exam is on a Friday. For longer blocks with multiple exams, you'll have multiple corresponding golden weekends.Would any current students mind sharing what the academic schedule looks like for the first year? I'm looking for something more in depth that would break down how long we spend in each block/how many golden weekends to expect each year. Thanks 🙂

No not yetAnyone received any financial aid info yet? The portal says info will be sent towards the end of March, so just wondering if anyone has heard anything. I submitted my FAFSA to them a while ago and emailed to confirm if they received it, but they never responded. Did anyone get confirmation from them after submitting their FAFSA?
Did anyone notice all the posts last year on sdn about this school's match data? ... this year it's really quiet.
Has anyone seen the 2023 match day results?
I think he/she is talking about the list, like what programs people matched into in their respective specialties.![]()

Thanks for the article!Ah okay. I would presume they will publish it at some point, just need some time as it’s been less than a month since match day. WVSOM is definitely not one of those schools that hides match data or results, info is generally easily accessible on their website 🙂.
I don’t know how much this helps, but the article said:
A total of 105 students in the Class of 2023, or 60 percent, are entering primary care residency programs, encompassing the specialties of family practice, internal medicine and pediatrics. A total of 44 students matched to family practice residencies, 39 matched to internal medicine, 20 matched to pediatrics and two matched to internal medicine/pediatrics, in which physicians train to become board certified in both specialties.
Other popular specialties for members of the Class of 2023 include emergency medicine, with 25 students; psychiatry, with 12 students; general surgery, with eight students; and orthopedic surgery, with five students.
