The West Virginia University School of Medicine is the professional school for the study of medicine and other health professions at West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia. The medical school was established in 1902 as the first such institution in the state of West Virginia. It remains one of only three medical schools in the state.

The school is organized into three campuses. The main campus in Morgantown is located in the WVU Health Sciences Center, a large, modern medical complex that also includes the Schools of Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy and Public Health; all M.D. students spend their first two years there. M.D. students can also spend their final two years of clinical work at the Charleston Campus in the state capital of Charleston or the Eastern Campus in Martinsburg. WVU's Charleston Campus is located near the Charleston Area Medical Center, the oldest regional medical center in the U.S. With three hospitals in the CAMC system, a variety of clinical opportunities is provided. WVU's Eastern Campus provides a community-based, direct clinical experience and teaches students in a longitudinal fashion in collaboration with University Healthcare, a partner of Berkeley Medical Centerr in Martinsburg and Jefferson Medical Center in Ranson.
