VCOM-Louisiana

The mission of the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM) is to prepare globally minded, community-focused osteopathic physicians to meet the needs of rural and medically underserved populations and advance research to improve human health. VCOM-Louisiana was established to address the physician shortage in Louisiana, which is currently ranked 39th in the U.S. for per capita primary care physicians, with 81% of the state designated as a health professional shortage area. VCOM graduates are poised to make a real difference in the health of Louisiana's citizens.
