Achieving greatness is a perpetual process, not an end game. Excellence requires ongoing self-assessments of what we did, what we are doing, and what we will do to improve for the future. This is the mindset of Rocky Vista University (RVU) with our vision of achieving new heights in medical education.
The Rocky Vista University Montana College of Osteopathic Medicine (MCOM) is RVU’s third medical school campus and has the noteworthy advantage of benefitting from all the experience, achievements and proven outcomes of RVU’s medical school campuses in Colorado and Utah. However, one big difference to highlight is that RVU-MCOM will function like a separate medical school with our own local governance structure, our own faculty and staff, and our own customized curriculum that will include more simulation, ultrasound, and other innovative educational opportunities.
As the Founding Dean, I have the great privilege of welcoming you to our amazing, purposely-built medical school campus located in Billings, MT. Billings is the largest city in the state and serves as the major hub of quality healthcare delivery for a catchment area of over 650,000 people in the region. MCOM will offer the ideal place for you to learn, practice, and grow as a healthcare professional.
MCOM’s campus culture is rooted in our university’s core values of excellence, diversity, equity, inclusivity, innovation, collegiality, compassion, integrity, and service. We strive to prepare our students to work with diverse patients and populations, be service-oriented community partners, and be excellent representatives of Rocky Vista University!
We are excited to have you join us and we welcome you!
