The Department of Physiology is an integral part of the education and research mission of the Eastern Virginia Medical School. All of the faculty are highly active and funded with grants from national and local agencies and have committed to the dual mission of research and teaching.

We are strongly committed to the teaching/training of Ph.D. graduate and post-graduate students and the development of innovative medical education techniques for medical and allied health students.

Since physiology is fundamental to the understanding of the clinical practice of medicine, we believe that a firm commitment to the research and teaching of physiology is vitally important to the academic and clinical enterprise at EVMS.
