About Us
Carilion Clinic – Virginia Tech Carilion Graduate Medical Education is dedicated to ensuring exceptional training for our 350 residents and fellows. Trainees in our 30 accredited programs benefit from a robust educational experience at a university-based academic medical center with close collaboration between the sponsoring institution, Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, and the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute – all of which are located on campus. Our network of hospitals and physician practices, extensive educational resources, passionate faculty, and unique patient population, provide opportunities for trainees to receive a superior education at our institution.
Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
At Carilion Clinic Graduate Medical Education (GME), we believe that embracing diversity, promoting equity and fostering inclusion are vital and integral to cultivating a vibrant, compassionate and socially responsible healthcare workforce that serves diverse patient populations and achieves optimal patient outcomes. Together, we strive to create an environment that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve and provides an equitable platform for all residents to excel and make a meaningful impact in their medical careers.
- Diversity
We recognize and appreciate the richness that diversity brings to both our medical and GME community. We believe that a diverse community of residents, faculty and staff enhances our collective ability to provide patient-centered care, engage in innovative research and develop cultural humility within our health care professionals.
- Equity
We are dedicated to creating an equitable and fair environment where everyone has equal opportunities to thrive, grow and succeed. We are committed to identifying and addressing any systemic barriers that may hinder the advancement of individuals from historically marginalized or underrepresented groups within our GME community.
- Inclusion
We strive to foster an inclusive culture where every member of our GME community feels respected, valued and included. We embrace the power of diverse perspectives, experiences and ideas to drive innovation, collaboration and excellence. We aim to create a sense of belonging, where individuals can bring their authentic selves into this program to the table, contributing to a vibrant and enriching community.
- Accountability
We hold ourselves accountable to these principles by regularly assessing our progress, identifying areas for improvement and taking action to address disparities and promote inclusivity within our GME programs. The Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine Learning Environment Advisory Committee and the Carilion Clinic Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Office provide part of that accountability.
The Annual Institutional Review Plan for Carilion GMEC includes specific outcomes for diversity and inclusion, such as reviewing all curricula to foster an inclusive and anti-bias learning environment; assessing each program’s method of trainee evaluation to assure they are fair and equitable; and developing and monitoring each program’s plan to recruit a diverse group of residents, fellows, faculty and staff.
Virginia Tech Partnership
Residents and fellows work closely with the students, medical educators, and research scientists from the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC. This partnership leverages Virginia Tech’s world-class strength in basic sciences, bioinformatics and engineering with Carilion Clinic’s highly experienced medical staff and rich history in graduate medical education.
What's New in GME?
Over the next seven years, Carilion Clinic is planning to invest more than $1 billion in the region through expanding and modernizing our buildings. These plans include an almost-500,000 square foot expansion to Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital - our flagship hopsital - and the 77,000 square foot Carilion Children's Tanglewood Center.
Our expansion projects address needs in our communities that have been identified through our community needs assessments and other research. Our goal is to improve access to care, so that everyone in our communities can get the care they need, when they need it, closer to home.
