Marshall maintains its close partnership with the Hershel “Woody” Williams VA Medical Center in Huntington through pre-clinical and clinical learning opportunities. Medical students also serve a large community of veterans in Marshall Health’s various outpatient clinics. Medical students interested in a career in military service can also lean on a number of faculty members at the school of medicine with active and reserve military experience.
