Medical College Of Virginia




In 1968, MCV merged with the Richmond Professional Institute to form Virginia Commonwealth University . During this merger, the agreement stipulated that MCV would retain its name in perpetuity. The exact title by act is "The Medical College of Virginia Health Sciences Division of Virginia Commonwealth University."

Beginning in the 1990s, under the direction of VCU President Eugene Trani , the university made a concerted effort to refer to MCV as the "VCU Medical Center."
There is now a small controversy as to the appropriate official name of the medical school. Disaffected students and alumni are resorting to the Medical Society of Virginia's support to regain the original name of the institution.
