Happy Holidays from VTCSOM

Dark blue background with a spotlight snowflake. Message: Happy Holidays

For many of us, the holiday season provides an opportunity for reflection. We have time to consider what we value the most in our lives and what we believe. Through 2022 at the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, our values and beliefs have helped us achieve great successes and overcome difficult challenges. They have shaped our relationships and strengthened our bonds within the VTCSOM community and beyond.  

As we conclude the year, it’s a great time to reflect upon the beliefs that make VTCSOM the special place it is. Thank you for your support and involvement with our school.  

Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy holiday season and an inspiring new year!
