First West Virginia MD Graduates Conferment Booms
Morgantown West Virginia University will confer 15 Doctor of Medicine degrees next week the first time in state history marking a decade plus of planning and a $35 million effort. Nine years ago W Groves Jr a Meadow Bridge native was among 15 000 WV high school graduates now slated to become one of the first WVU MD graduates. Groves notes the value of a small class and close faculty ties as the Center aims to bridge scientific advances with patient care while anticipating ongoing doctor shortages. The Medical Center built with state funds and opened facilities includes a 400 bed teaching hospital and a large complex to revamp state health care.
