CAMC Institute for Academic Medicine

What CAMC Institute for Academic Medicine does

CAMC Institute for Academic Medicine is the academic medical education and research arm of Vandalia Health, headquartered in Charleston, West Virginia. It operates ACGME-accredited residency and fellowship programs across more than 17 medical specialties — including general surgery, vascular surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, cardiology, emergency medicine, and behavioral medicine — using Vandalia Health's 1,138-bed, seven-hospital Charleston Area Medical Center as its clinical training base. The institute also runs the largest continuing interprofessional education program in West Virginia for practicing physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and allied health professionals, plus the APP Critical Care Fellowship, the School of Nurse Anesthesia, and dedicated Clinical Trials, Cancer Research, and Health Services/Outcomes Research Centers.

Its core technology stack consists of a high-fidelity simulation center (CAMC Center for Learning and Research), a full-service media production facility with three camera studios, two edit bays, and a 326-seat distance-education auditorium, webcasting and teleconference infrastructure, a New Innovations residency management platform, and digital channels including the Health Matters podcast and department-specific social media accounts. Affiliate educational partners — WVU Health Sciences Charleston Campus, West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, and Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine — collaborate on curriculum and training.

Revenue mechanics are institutional rather than commercial. The institute is funded as a component of the not-for-profit Vandalia Health system, supplemented by federal graduate medical education reimbursement, continuing education registration and conference fees, research grants, clinical trial activity, and philanthropy through the CAMC Foundation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Customers are internal to the healthcare-education ecosystem: medical residents and fellows, practicing clinicians seeking CE credits, medical students on rotation, advanced practice provider trainees, and patients participating in clinical trials across West Virginia and contiguous states.
