Diversity and Inclusion Within GME

Graduate Medical Education Policy Statement

Hampton Roads has a population of 1.7 million and is the seventh largest metro in the Southeast United States. The resident physicians of Eastern Virginia Medical School thrive by learning from our patients' wide spectrum of multiracial and ethnic, socioeconomic, and diverse life experiences.  We are guided by the EVMS diversity statement, “We strive to attract talented students, trainees, faculty, staff, and leaders who bring diverse attributes and experiences to drive our collective commitment to excellence”.  Our programs promote a workplace of inclusiveness, which fosters creativity, teamwork, culturally sensitive patient care, and an enriching training environment. We are committed to recruiting underrepresented applicants in medicine and responsive to our community's needs.
