Our Department houses all of our family medicine medical student education

includes didactics, journal clubs, grand rounds presentations, and service

general Pediatrics, Ambulatory Medicine, and general Surgery. Students also complete
a scholarly capstone project that is relevant to medically underserved
communities.

model program for training those dedicated to serving underserved populations
in a variety of settings and advancing family physicians’ abilities to address
health disparities and inequities, in addition to providing the highest quality
clinical care. The program is designed to base the first-year
residents at VCU’s flagship academic medical center in Richmond, VA, then have
second- and third-year residents based at VCU’s Community Memorial Hospital in
