One hundred fifty physicians with ties to EVMS, including 28 EVMS Health Services providers, are listed as "Super Doctors" in the latest edition of Hampton Roads Magazine.

Of the 247 doctors selected for the Super Doctors honor, 150 have some affiliation with Eastern Virginia Medical School, serving as either full-time or volunteer community faculty. This means nearly two out of every three doctors on the list teach at EVMS.

For men diagnosed with prostate cancer, deciding on a treatment path can be agonizing – and out of fear, many patients choose surgery or radiation therapy over the third choice of watchful waiting.

Two Eastern Virginia Medical School faculty members have developed an innovative method to help men, primary care physicians and specialists together make more educated choices. It includes a formula for a patient's health-adjusted life expectancy, simplified treatment guidelines, a patient questionnaire and a clear summary of treatment side effects.

Two EVMS scientists have received a $400,000 National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant to fund immune system research that may one day benefit a broad range of patients.

Neel Krishna, PhD, associate professor of microbiology and molecular cell biology, and Kenji Cunnion, MD, associate professor of pediatrics, are co-investigators on the two-year grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease.
