Rocky Vista University (RVU) is a rapidly growing institution with three locations. The founding campus is located in the town of Parker, Colorado—just 20 miles southeast of Denver. The community is known for its excellent school system, extensive biking and jogging trails, recreational facilities, dining, and entertainment, as well as a wide variety of arts and community events held throughout the year.
The technologically-advanced, 145,000 square foot facility boasts auditoriums, laboratories, and study areas that have been professionally engineered to promote a positive learning environment. This includes a standardized patient lab that has been designed and equipped to replicate the testing facilities of the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners, as well as the U.S. Medical Licensing Examination. RVU takes pride in its experienced and talented administration, faculty, and staff, as well as its exceptional student body. A strong sense of community is evident at RVU.
Rocky Vista University’s second location is in Ivins, Utah, approximately 15 minutes from downtown St. George. The two-story 104,000 square feet academic center complements the natural scenery of the area. It includes two 200-seat lecture halls, three seminar rooms, 36 breakout rooms, an osteopathic clinical skills lab, a full dissection gross anatomy lab, a multipurpose/neuroanatomy/ultrasound lab, a simulation center, standardized patient rooms, and a 4,300 square foot library. The Southern Utah campus (RVUCOM-SU) also includes a 23,000 square foot medical office building across the street, for administrative offices and a future medical clinic. Additionally, the Southern Utah Veterans Home, which is adjacent to the campus, provides students with longitudinal care experience.
Rocky Vista University’s third location is in Billings, Montana. The Rocky Vista University Montana College of Osteopathic Medicine (MCOM) branch campus is located on 12.8 acres and will house a 138,000 square foot technologically advanced campus, complete with a full simulation lab, student medical library, expansive lecture hall, and plenty of light and green space to fully enjoy the big sky of Montana. RVU-MCOM is the first medical school in the state of Montana with a dedicated campus and is expected to serve its first students in 2023.
