The mission of the Carilion Clinic - Virginia Tech Carilion Internal Medicine Residency is to promote excellence in medical education and patient care. Our vision is that every resident in our training program will become a gifted clinician, well-prepared for sub-specialty training, hospital medicine, academic medicine, or private practice. Additionally, we embrace Carilion's mission, values and guiding principles.
Dr. Sweet
Carilion Clinic provides primary care to a local population of 250,000 people while serving as the region's only tertiary care, level I trauma center for over one million residents of Southwestern Virginia.
Currently, Carilion Clinic is in the midst of an exciting transformation into a patient-centered, physician-lead, university-affiliated multidisciplinary clinic. As part of this process, Carilion Clinic has partnered with Virginia Tech to form the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine. The school has a research focus at the core of its academic mission. Not only will this endeavor round out Carilion Clinic's transformation to a clinic model, it will also provide the Internal Medicine Residency with exciting growth opportunities.
About the Program
The program is based at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital, a state-of-the-art facility that is the second-largest hospital in Virginia. Our outstanding faculty have dedicated their careers to internal medicine education and have appointments at Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine. Many also have affiliate appointments at the University of Virginia School of Medicine and the Edward Via Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM).
We recognize that a sense of balance between professional training and social and personal growth is fundamental to the success of residency training. Our program is nestled between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains. Roanoke blends small town charm with big city amenities. Recreational, cultural, historical and social opportunities abound. Neighborhoods are safe and friendly, schools are excellent, and the cost of living is low. We believe that Roanoke is an exceptional place to work and live.
Obtaining fellowships, academic positions, or desirable private or hospitalist practices are the norm for our graduates. We are quietly confident of our ability to meet your educational and personal goals, and we anticipate the opportunity to help you. Please contact us should you like more information.
