About Jeffrey Oury
Brief bio:

What attracted you to WVU Residency?
For me, it was the people and opportunity. After meeting Dr. Wilson and Dr. Grabo at a conference, I knew this is where I wanted to train. The mix of the academic center, rural disease presentation, lack of fellows, case volume, and diversity of resident outcomes.
What makes our program unique?
The FTTP. The kindness and collegial nature of residents, nurses, and staff.
What do you like about living in Morgantown?
My family and I enjoy the small-town feel, with access to larger city opportunities. The large university creates an interesting diverse area. Close access to larger cities. Low cost of living and good schools. Morgantown and this area offer limitless outdoor opportunities.
