Meredith College, the liberal arts educational institution for women in Raleigh, North Carolina, has entered into a partnership agreement with the Edward Via Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine, a private, non-profit osteopathic medical school located on the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. The medical school also operates two branch campuses located in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and Auburn, Alabama.
Mathew Poslusny, provost at Meredith College, stated that “the articulation agreement will benefit our students tremendously. It provides a framework for preparation and helps students set goals that, when met, will give them an excellent opportunity to be interviewed by a medical school.”
Undergraduate students at Meredith College and students enrolled in the college post-baccalaureate certificate program may benefit from the agreement. Meredith College reports that at the current time there are about 150 students at the college who are majoring in healthcare-related fields.
