 Welcome to EVMS!
Welcome to Eastern Virginia Medical School. In the late 1960s, the community recognized the need for high-quality healthcare in Hampton Roads. So, its leaders banded together and raised the money to start a medical school in 1973.
Since that time, we have graduated more than 10,000 health professionals. Our students tell us time and again that they come to EVMS for the collegiality among their peers and their ready access to faculty. They also love our strong spirit of service. EVMS is home to the first student-led free clinic in Virginia. Our vision is to become the most community-oriented school of medicine and health professions in the country, and you can be a part of that effort.
Our students benefit from the latest in medical modeling and simulation technology and our pioneering standardized-patient programs. In addition to our MD curriculum, we offer more than 20 other degree and certificate programs through our School of Health Professions. Some 350 resident physicians continue their training in 39 residency, fellowship and internship programs supporting clinical practices, our hospital partners and the region’s patients. More than 150 full-time EVMS physicians and surgeons care for more than 1,600 people every day at practices throughout the area - including the region’s only Level 1 trauma center. Our world-renowned faculty also conducts cutting-edge research focused on Hampton Roads’ most pressing health needs.
The EVMS impact is felt throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. More than 3,500 alumni practice around the state. Last year, more than 15,000 health professionals took advantage of our continuing medical education programs to learn more about the latest treatments and maintain their licensure. All told, EVMS has an estimated $1.2 billion annual impact on the regional economy.
Thank you for your interest in EVMS.
