ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
2013-2014
Alumni Association
O
ur Alumni Association just completed its second year, so
it’s time again to reflect on the many exciting things that
were accomplished. Once again, the goal for this year was to
continue to gather the most up-to-date contact information from our
ever-expanding number of alumni in an effort to increase the number of
paying members. These efforts coincided with those of the First Million
campaign—the quest for a self-maintaining scholarship with at least one
million dollars from member donations. I’m pleased to say that the roster
of alumni that contribute to both of these campaigns continues to grow.
Truly, the biggest event of our year is the VOMA Fall
Conference because it serves as the stage for our annual reunion and
homecoming celebration. This year we celebrated the return of the Class
of 2008 with a full weekend of both Continuing Medical Education
and fun activities in and around the beautiful Hotel Roanoke. Twelve
alumni from the class gave lectures and nearly forty alumni and families
attended the various events planned during the weekend.
I am pleased to discuss two major projects that we are
organizing for this year. First is the Global Volunteer Physician
Program, which is intended to serve as an organized network of alumni
who have the time and desire to attend the many medical missions that
VCOM students and physicians complete each year.
Second is a fundraising campaign that offers the VCOM
community the chance to purchase and engrave personalized bricks that
will be permanently placed in to-be-determined walkways or walls on
the Virginia and Carolina campuses.
As with last year’s efforts, the overall goal is to give members of
our association a growing list of opportunities and services that continue
to illustrate how effective their efforts are at keeping them connected to
all the great things that make up the VCOM community.

A
s J.J. White stated, this past year
was another exciting year for the
VCOM Alumni Association. The
alumni mentoring program continued
to thrive, bringing more alumni on
board willing and happy to provide
mentoring services to our current and
prospective students.
As alumni board president, J.J. White
’07 fulfilled his alumni initiative of
playing a key role in establishing
the “VCOM Global Physician”,
which serves to develop a network
of VCOM faculty, alumni, and
friends to advance a nationally and
internationally recognized Global
Health program. The First Million
Scholarship Campaign is progressing
to include more alumni who wish
to make an impact on students by
growing this scholarship fund.
In the fall of 2013, the board was
instrumental in planning the second
annual VCOM Homecoming event,
held in conjunction with the Virginia
Osteopathic Medical Association’s
fall meeting at Hotel Roanoke.
Plans are in the making for the
2014 alumni weekend, which will
highlight the Class of 2009. The
event, beginning August 29, will
include continuing medical education,
a family evening at Claytor Lake,
and a tailgate prior to cheering on the
Hokies at Lane Stadium.
Other events for alumni held during
the past year included Osteopathic
Medical Education (OMED) and
the American College of Osteopathic
Family Physician Conference,
(ACOFP) both held in Las Vegas,
and the AAO held in Colorado
Springs. Future endeavors are being
made to include other specialty
conferences in order to reach out to
more VCOM alumni.

Class of 2011, Virginia Campus
Molly Ashby, D.O., who served as Chief Intern at Grandview Hospital in Dayton, Ohio,
will also serve as OB/GYN Chief Resident for 2014-2015. In September 2013, she was
elected nationally as the ACOOG Resident Representative to the Board of Trustees
and will be in that role until June 2015. Dr. Ashby is also the chair of the ACOOG
Resident Council and will be working with that committee to reach out to students who
are interested in joining the Osteopathic OB/GYN community.
Being an executive member of the OB/GYN Club and the Vice President of AMWA
while at VCOM really helped Dr. Ashby when applying for roles within the American
College of Osteopathic Obstetricians and Gynecologists. She feels that the guidance
she received while a student at VCOM has been one of the most beneficial factors to
her success throughout residency. The faculty members of VCOM and the support
staff really want to see their students succeed and be a positive guide in helping
students achieve that success in the future. "I am proud to say that I graduated
from VCOM every time I’m asked which medical school I attended. I also hope to
offer guidance and encouragement to students who are interested in applying to
an OB/GYN residency. Students are welcome to email me if they are seeking more
information from a resident perspective. Despite the long hours and hard work, I love
what I do and hope to be able to share that passion with others."

Niyati Sheth Sandhu, D.O.
Class of 2007, Virginia Campus
“VCOM students [of the first class] were the pioneer medical
students at most of our rotation sites. This afforded us the
luxury of acting like residents, sometimes stepping into what
would now be considered the role of a fellow. In addition to
the basics, I also remember first-assisting in aortic aneurysm
repairs, running a code (under supervision of course), placing
central lines, interpreting imaging, and delivering babies.
We were all well-prepared for residency. I had no problem
assuming the role of chief resident during my second year at
South Pointe Hospital, followed by president of the House
Staff Council during my third year. On our first day of medical
school, as we sat there overwhelmed by the curriculum, we
were told that there is a ‘light at the end of the tunnel.’
They were correct, and it is magnificent.”

Michelle Keating, D.O.
Class of 2013, Virginia Campus
“I cherish VCOM. I will forever be grateful for everything VCOM has
allowed me to accomplish. Every opportunity VCOM provided me,
whether it be any of the medical mission trips that I participated in
or one of the many sports medicine opportunities, VCOM shaped
me into the physician I am today. I am honored to have learned from
some of the best physicians I have ever worked with. I am blessed
to have had all of the VCOM staff there to support me at every twist
and turn that life threw at me while at VCOM. Even at graduation
last year, I was humbled to be VCOM’s 1000th graduate. I am so
proud to be a VCOM alumni. I love connecting with other VCOMers
and being a part of the natural camaraderie that all VCOMers share. There have been so many instances where VCOM alumni have gone
out of their way to help me; I only hope that [I will be able] to pay it
forward to other VCOM students and alumni alike.”

Arpit Patel, D.O.
Class of 2011, Virginia Campus
“I have always been thankful and appreciative of the education and training that VCOM
provided. The pride I exhibit for choosing VCOM is reflective of my younger brother
following in my footsteps.
As a resident, I open my doors to all current and prospective VCOM students to rotate
and shadow me if they would like to learn about my training. Additionally, I always
make myself available via email and phone to answer any questions applicants may
have when deciding which medical school to join. I have matriculated to an AOA
approved PM&R residency and plan to pursue an AOA fellowship and continue my
training and support for the field of osteopathic medicine.”

Andy and Clint are both
residents at Freeman Health
System in Joplin, Missouri.
“Attending VCOM prepared me for what
the underserved area of southwest Missouri
has to offer. As I finish up the second year
of residency, I can say without a doubt that
without the education I received at VCOM,
I would be struggling. From their outstanding
professors to the clinical simulation lab,
VCOM is in a league of its own. Having a
2013 VCOM graduate as an intern this year,
I could tell from day one that he was confident
and prepared for what residency had to offer
which is a testament to the education we both
received from VCOM.”
Clint Dunkle, D.O.
Class of 2013, Virginia Campus
“I feel like VCOM put me ahead of the game when
it came to starting residency. All of the hands-on
experience I had there really set a strong foundation
for residency. I started on nights my first month of
residency. It was a steep learning curve, but I fear
how much worse it could have been without my old
notes, professors, and friends from VCOM to fall
back on for support. It was also nice to have another
VCOM graduate at my program to help guide me
through that tough first year.”

Commencement of the Edward Via College
of Osteopathic Medicine’s Seventh Class
O
n June 1, 2013, the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM) held its
Commencement Ceremony for 191 members of the graduating Class of 2013 in Burruss Hall
on the Virginia Tech campus.
The class was honored to have esteemed guest, Governor
Bob McDonnell, as their commencement speaker. John
G. Rocovich, Jr., J.D., LL.M., Chairman of the Board of
Directors; Dean Dixie Tooke-Rawlins, D.O.; and several
others were among the honored speakers.
The governor has dedicated his life to public service,
having served in the United States Army, both active
duty and reserve, for 21 years. Governor McDonnell
retired in 1997 as a Lieutenant Colonel.
In his speech to VCOM’s most recent graduates, he
passionately urged each one of them to give back to
Virginia by starting their careers in the very state they
earned their prestigious degrees. Governor McDonnell
stated, “If you are going to create something, do it in
Virginia. The timing has never been better.
Highlighting upon the importance of serving others,
Governor McDonnell closed his speech in saying,
“This college was created with a mission: to serve the
underserved through excellence in health care. Southwest
Virginia and the world have been its beneficiaries.”
A reception followed the ceremony at VCOM II for
the graduates and their families.
