The Residency

As the only Level 1 Trauma Center and Pediatric ED servicing a 6,000-square-mile catchment area, our residency program offers a unique and unparalleled training experience. Residents are immersed in a dynamic, high-acuity, high-volume emergency department, exposing them to a remarkably diverse patient population. A longitudinal EMS curriculum and community and critical access ED rotations ensure residents are exposed to all aspects of emergency care.

At the Virginia Tech Carilion Emergency Medicine residency, we provide comprehensive training that prepares our resident physicians to confidently work in any ED setting. Set in the picturesque Roanoke Valley, our program offers an excellent place to live and work. Immediate access to outdoor activities, an affordable cost of living, and a high-acuity training site offer a work-life balance that cannot be replicated.

Our residents experience all aspects of emergency care. The majority of training occurs at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital, (CRMH) our tertiary care, Level I Trauma Center, with 84,000 visits per year and a 30% admit rate. The patient volumes and complexities place CRMH in the top 5% of high-acuity academic emergency departments. Residents also rotate in our community and rural sites, a short commute from Roanoke. Carilion Franklin Memorial Hospital provides the opportunity to experience emergency medicine critical access setting. Residents learn to practice with minimal in-house support and how to utilize regional resources and the transfer system. Carilion New River Valley Medical Center (CNRV) is a busy community ED and Level III trauma center with 30,000 annual visits. CNRV has ample specialty coverage in surgery, orthopedics, OB/GYN, peds, cardiology, urology, and gastroenterology.

We are committed to your development as an emergency physician and future leader in Emergency Medicine. With our tailored curriculum and 70+ faculty members, we have the resources to guide and mentor you into the field of your choice, inspiring you to reach your full potential.

-==History==
+==The Residency==
-Virginia Tech Carilion Emergency Medicine (VTCEM) is a PGY1-3 categorical EM residency with an emphasis on developing leaders in the field of emergency medicine. During training, our residents learn to use evidence-based medicine to develop clinically sound and culturally sensitive treatment plans. Our graduates practice in diverse geographic and clinical settings. In the past five years, 40% of VTCEM graduates have gone on to fellowships or into academic medicine.
-Carilion Clinic EM faculty provide emergency care across six Emergency Departments (EDs) in southwest Virginia (SWVA). The only Level 1 Trauma Center and Pediatric ED in the region, Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital (CRMH) is the tertiary/quaternary referral hospital for a catchment area of 6,000 square miles with a population of 1.5 million. CRMH sees over 95,000 annual ED visits and over 2,000 annual trauma activations. A longitudinal pediatrics curriculum, with pediatric ED shifts interspersed into ED rotations, ensures that residents are exposed to all seasonal variations of pediatric emergency care.

-Additionally, our residents train at Carilion New River Valley Medical Center, a busy community ED that sees 40,000 patients annually. For a more rural experience, residents rotate through Carilion Franklin Memorial Hospital, a rural ED with 20,000 annual patient visits. With such diverse training opportunities ranging from urban to rural, our graduates are clinical experts in Emergency Medicine, ready to manage emergencies ranging from gunshot wounds to livestock injuries and everything between.
