Orientation

We are honored and privileged that you have chosen us to continue your professional education. Our bold mission statement affirms our dedication to education, research and patient care.

The checklists for packets/coursework and their corresponding due dates will be distributed through New Innovations. To ensure your ability to begin your training on July 1, you must strictly adhere to the stated deadlines.

We encourage you to explore Hampton Roads, its rich history and unlimited local amenities. Use the Living Here Survey to assist you in choosing your new place to live. This survey contains insights and feedback from EVMS residents (past and present), faculty, staff and students.

We look forward to working with you as we continue to support the EVMS vision: "To be recognized as the most community-oriented school of medicine and health professions in the United States."
