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 2018-2019, 45 percent of the 392 medical students who enrolled in the first year classes of the state's three medical school 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) Loans and Incentives; and (7) The Rural Health Initiative Program.
