Eastern Virginia Medical School

What Eastern Virginia Medical School does

Eastern Virginia Medical School is a Norfolk, Virginia-based medical school founded in 1964 that has been integrated into Old Dominion University as part of Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences, the largest health-sciences degree portfolio in the Commonwealth of Virginia comprising five colleges and schools. The institution trains 151 new medical students per year and operates 40+ residency and fellowship programs with roughly 400–454 physicians-in-training, delivering clinical services through EVMS Medical Group with patient-portal integration via MyChart/FollowMyHealth across the Hampton Roads region.

The school's business model mixes tuition and fees from MD and health-professions degree programs, state appropriations routed through the ODU public-university system, research grants, and clinical receipts from EVMS Medical Group. A flagship six-year Sentara Health commitment funds 200 additional residency/fellowship positions, effectively underwriting graduate medical education expansion in response to a projected national physician shortage of 13,500–86,000 doctors by 2036. The institution also generates applied-research revenue through industry partnerships such as a 35-patient early feasibility study with Raydiant Oximetry evaluating fetal pulse oximetry technology and supporting development of machine-learning algorithms to reduce unnecessary cesarean deliveries and fetal hypoxia.

On the technology side, EVMS's AI footprint is collaborative and research-oriented rather than core product: faculty such as Dr. Atiq Bhatti participate in national panels on AI-driven solutions for healthcare system design failures and patient burnout, while clinical-research partnerships with companies like Raydiant Oximetry contribute labeled patient data toward third-party ML development. Marketing and distribution run primarily through ODU's academic portal, the Health Sciences Academy community programs, and earned media coverage, with direct clinical distribution handled regionally through EVMS Medical Group.
