New name, same mission
We are proud to announce that Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) is now Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences Eastern Virginia Medical School at Old Dominion University. While our name has changed, our commitment to building a healthier community remains the same. Through our nationally recognized Graduate Medical Education programs, we continue to provide comprehensive, community-based training across multiple hospitals and clinics. This integration with ODU enhances our research and collaboration opportunities, further empowering us to address healthcare disparities and advance medical education.
Train in diverse settings
Sentara Norfolk General Hospital
Sentara Norfolk General Hospital is home to the area's only Level I trauma center and burn trauma unit, the region's premier heart program, and the primary teaching hospital. Its active cardiology, cardiac rehabilitation, sleep medicine, epilepsy, and oncology programs, as well as its heart, lung, kidney, and pancreas transplant programs, make Sentara Norfolk General an ideal place for residents to perform their rounds.
Hampton Veterans Affairs Medical Center
The Hampton Veterans Affairs Medical Center has 142 acute beds in medicine, surgery, psychiatry and neurology, 234 extended care beds in intermediate medicine, palliative (hospice) care, spinal cord injury and nursing home care and a 294-bed rehabilitative residential care domiciliary for a total of 670 operating beds. Internal Medicine research at this facility focuses on diseases related to aging and nutrition. Combined Internal Medicine and Geriatrics residents complete a geriatric rotation in their second year of training.
Sentara Ambulatory Care Clinic
Our residents participate in Sentara's Ambulatory Care Clinic, which provides uncompensated medical care to uninsured or underinsured Norfolk residents in 17,000 annual visits. The clinic is a follow-up option for patients recently discharged from Sentara hospitals and emergency facilities. The Ambulatory Care Clinic provides various services including lab services, X-rays, EKGs, specialty clinics and medication assistance programs, which are available to help patients get prescription medications free or at a reduced cost. Trainees rotate in the clinic during all three years of residency and work with a multidisciplinary healthcare team to deliver continuity care and maintain patient relations.
