A Huge Welcome to Our New Residents and Fellows
Our Graduate Medical Education (GME) residency and fellowship programs are gaining national recognition with ties to Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and Franklin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC. These relationships offer a unique opportunity for mentorship between medical students, residents and fellows.
The GME department continues to grow. We have applied for an orthopaedic residency and are working on preparing an application for a grant-funded pediatric dental residency program. In 2021, we celebrated the first graduate from our newly formed Addiction Medicine Fellowship. This year, we celebrated our first graduates from our Rheumatology Fellowship.
This year, we have 29 new trainees who graduated from Virginia schools joining us, including eight graduates of the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine. It is our hope that upon graduation, these residents will continue to improve the health of our communities by staying in the Commonwealth.
So, who are our new residents and fellows? They are a diverse group selected to meet the needs of our diverse patient population. Our incoming trainees join us from medical schools and programs all over the country and world.
After many months of preparation and onboarding, including two weeks of intensive system orientation, our 110 new residents and fellows began their training rotations at hospitals and offices across our organization. They will learn about Carilion, our community and their chosen specialties in the coming months and years.
We want to get to know them, too! Many of them have joined us from afar and do not have family close by, so please join us in making our new residents and fellows feel at home by introducing yourself and welcoming them. Learn more about them in our 2023-24 Resident/Fellow Booklet.
Check out the graphic below the group photo to see what states and countries they represent! If you have questions about GME, please contact Alaina Lawrence at aabradford@carilionclinic.org.
