VCOM - Carolinas Campus

VCOM Carolinas Campus image On February 25, 2010, the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine broke ground for its branch campus in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Several hundred civic leaders, government officials, and members of the community gathered at the ceremony to join VCOM administration and faculty near the historic smokestack at the old Spartan Mills site. The campus, opening in the fall of 2011, will offer all four years of osteopathic medical education to 150 medical students per year, totaling to a four-year student body of 600 students.

The main campus building is approximately 70,000 square feet and is situated on a 18-acre campus. Ample parking exists for all VCOM students and faculty. Handicapped and visitor parking is available. VCOM’s information systems, provided through Virginia Tech, provide our campus community with access to information systems and resources worldwide. The classroom environment affords optimum learning conditions while demonstrating respect for both students and faculty alike. In addition to two theatre classrooms which seat 160 each, 20 moderately sized rooms are available for small group learning. Clinical skills laboratories are interconnected using modern video, computer technology, and net meeting technologies. The main campus building includes a state-of-the-art anatomy lab, a center for technology and simulated medicine, a full library, and dining facility.

The 18-acre campus includes a walking and biking path, a small lake, and outside patios providing students with both indoor and outdoor environments for study and activities. The Wofford College campus and downtown Spartanburg are in close proximity to the VCOM campus.
