Our Namesake: Augustus L. Warner (1807-1847)Warner led the group of four Richmond physicians who organized the Medical Department of Hampden-Sydney College in 1838. A medical graduate of the University of Maryland, Warner taught in Baltimore and at the University of Virginia before relocating to Richmond. He served as the first dean and professor of surgery for the medical school that would become the Medical College of Virginia. Under Warner’s leadership the medical department secured a permanent home with the construction of the Egyptian Building in 1844.

Welcome to Warner!Over the next few years, you should look to Warner as a group of friends brought together by the challenges and triumphs of medical school.
You’ll be there side by side for a long but rewarding 18 months, seeing each other grow through embarrassing SP moments, passionate group discussions, and early morning TBLs. Your society leaders, along with others, will also work hard to host relaxing and fun events throughout the years so we can spend some time together outside of school! And don’t forget — societies span all four years, so you have the wisdom of many experienced medical students at your fingertips! Feel free to reach out to Warner members from other years if you need guidance. We are all looking forward to an awesome time ahead! |
