2022 West Virginia Health Sciences and Rural Health Report
West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission
West Virginia's three state-funded medical schools enroll more medical students per capita than any other state in the country. Due to its large number of medical student slots, the state typically is able to offer all qualified West Virginians the opportunity to complete their medical education in the state. In the academic year of 2022, 44 percent of the 392 medical students who enrolled in the first year classes of the state's three medical schools were West Virginia residents. This report provides information on health sciences in West Virginia including: (1) Medical School Profiles; (2) Medical Licensure Exams; (3) Medical School Indebtedness; (4) Residency Training; (5) Medical School Graduate Retention for Practice in West Virginia; (6) Pharmacy Program Profiles; (7) Dentistry Program Profiles; (8) Loans and Incentives; and (9) Rural Health Initiative Program.
