​Who we Are

Welcome to the best society in the game, Tidewater! We're happy to welcome you into our corner of the VCUSOM family. Your fellow Tidewater Lions will be the people that you practice your clinical skills with in PCM, the people you take your TBL's with, and the people that you meet your first standardized patients with. They are wonderful, and so are you! Whenever you need a pick-me-up, a helping hand, or a smile, know that you can look to anyone in Tidewater to help you out. We're excited you decided to take the calculated risk of coming to medical school, and even more excited to welcome you to Tidewater Society!
