❤️‍🩹 School of Medicine

We exist at the forefront of modern medicine — advancing the scientific study of human life and bringing critical care to all who suffer. In our biggest cities, smallest towns and rural areas, we are the face of medicine.

🦷 School of Dentistry

From the classroom to the clinic, WVU dental and dental hygiene students work in small groups and get extensive hands-on experience in patient care. Graduates can go directly into practice or begin exciting careers in oral health research.

🩺 School of Nursing

Born with a heart to care for others, we’re developing the knowledge and skills to care for dozens of people at once, all while advancing research that will improve care for all.

💊 School of Pharmacy

Pharmacists are the most accessible healthcare professionals. With the patient care we provide and the medication therapies we manage, we’re caring for the people behind every prescription.
