KEEP in Action
The strategic compass outlines infinite goals that we strive to meet each day as a School of Medicine. Annually, this document is reviewed and implementation plans, finite goals, are developed to keep us moving forward. And while we continually pursue our vision, we appreciate the significant value in the journey.
Kindness
We are cultivating an environment where people can be their authentic selves and are treated as part of one Mountaineer family.
Erica Shaver
Emergency Medicine
“The training I received at WVU was second to none and the way in which I have been supported by my faculty and peer colleagues and our departmental leadership is something I will be forever grateful for. Now it's my turn to give back to others in all the ways I was supported.”
Engagement
The future of medicine is collaborative and we strive to listen and learn from our people and the communities we serve.
Michael Mehall
Respiratory Therapy
“Educational opportunities that result from professional training can change peoples’ lives, and is the reason that I teach. I want to provide a comprehensive education to every student so that they feel empowered encountering any situation as a respiratory therapist.”
Empowerment
Our learners and educators gain perspective and scope from one another; we provide the foundation for their journey.
Rebekah Avey
Exercise Physiology
“The exercise physiology program has several hands-on opportunities where students learn basic clinical skills, how and when to perform certain exercise tests and how to develop an exercise prescription. My favorite hands-on experience is the gross anatomy lab.”
Purpose
We take our calling in life seriously and work tirelessly to ensure we provide opportunity for others to discover theirs.
Becky Coakley
Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences
“West Virginia was the perfect place to start a program like CVRP. We’re such a small, family-driven state, so it was not hard for us to get physicians on board and to reach out to parents and teachers to become a community.”
