Sentara Norfolk General Hospital (SNGH) is a 644-bed tertiary care facility that is regionally and nationally known for many of its programs. It is the region's main tertiary care center and the primary teaching hospital for undergraduate and graduate education at EVMS. Special services available include the Nightingale Air Ambulance, which serves the hospital's busy Level I Trauma Center. The Heart Pavilion has active programs in invasive and noninvasive cardiology, open-heart surgery, heart and lung transplant, and cardiac rehabilitation. The hospital also has an active kidney transplant service as well as on-site programs in sleep medicine, epilepsy and oncology.

SNGH, with our other training hospital, Bon Secours DePaul Medical Center (below), provides 3,000 deliveries annually for resident training. The number and diversity of patients offer residents a high level of responsibility including primary operative experiences. Our staffing of the service is sufficient to permit adequate time for teaching conferences and rounds, reflection, and inquiry. Our teaching faculty and staff are readily available for consultation.

The Children's Hospital of The Kings' Daughters (CHKD), a 186-bed tertiary care hospital, is the only pediatric surgical facility in southeastern Virginia. In addition, CHKD has a 56-bed Level IV NICU. CHKD recently gained approval to increase its NICU complement to 62 beds. The new beds are presently under construction and will be available for occupancy shortly.

CHKD and Norfolk General offer our residents unique opportunities for high-risk obstetrical training and pediatric care for children with gynecological disorders and gynecologic complications from chronic medical problems, such as gynecologic problems due to pediatric cancer and renal transplantation. Our faculty and residents also care for pediatric gynecologic trauma patients.

The Howard and Georgeanna Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine serves as the home office for our residents. Known for achieving the first in vitro fertilization baby born in the United States, and more recently, the development of the birth control pill, Seasonale, the Jones Institute provides unparalleled opportunities for training and patient care in infertility and reproductive medicine. The CONRAD (Contraceptive Research Development) Program is the largest contraceptive research grant funded in the U.S. ($100 million as of 2009).

Infertility procedures, specialized reproductive surgeries, advanced reproductive technologies, and clinical and laboratory research are conducted at this site.

We accept one fellow annually in reproductive endocrinology. Graduates of our fellowship program in reproductive endocrinology are dispersed over the country and worldwide. The directors of the IVF programs at Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Cornell, and other programs graduated from the Institute.

Established as an eight-room infirmary to treat yellow fever victims in the late 1850s, Bon Secours DePaul Medical Center provides care for gynecologic oncology patients in the region. Our residents train with them during the second through fourth years, learning all aspects of pre- and postoperative care, while assisting with major gynecologic oncology procedures, as well as complex gynecology surgery.
