 Eastern Virginia Medical School is dedicated to medical and health education, biomedical research, and the enhancement of health care in the Hampton Roads region.
Our primary goal is the education of compassionate, skillful physicians
to serve in a variety of health care and academic settings.
Excellence in patient care requires a firm foundation in the medical sciences and clinical skills, combined with an empathetic attitude and the ability to apply scientific methods to the solution of medical problems.
The EVMS curriculum is designed to:
-
Provide a firm foundation in the medical sciences and clinical skills.
-
Teach an approach to medical problem solving using the best available evidence.
-
Cultivate habits of independent life-long learning and scholarship.
-
Help students appreciate the broad social and economic responsibilities of the medical profession.
-
Encourage the development of self-awareness and communication skills.
-
Emphasize human values in the practice of medicine.
 Affiliated with over 30 health care facilities across the Hampton Roads area, EVMS provides medical services for more than one-quarter of the Virginia population and adjacent segments of
northeastern North Carolina. EVMS is highly committed to providing a community-based education focusing on community health needs which will equip students with the experiences most relevant to practicing medicine in the twenty-first
century.
Three hundred
sixteen full-time faculty, 68
part-time faculty, and 1,157 community faculty offer a diversity of
resources to provide students with access to a broad range of
clinical experiences and methods for the delivery of medical care.
