Department of Family and Community Medicine
A word from our chair
"In Family & Community Medicine, we believe exceptional care begins with meaningful relationships—with our patients, our learners, and one another. We are committed to building an inclusive, collaborative environment where every team member is valued, every voice is heard, and physicians and advanced practice professionals are empowered to grow, lead, and make a lasting difference in the communities we serve. Whether you're just beginning your career or bringing years of experience, you'll find a place where you can thrive while helping shape the future of community-centered care."

"Carilion Clinic is a special place to practice medicine. We practice responsible medicine in a collaborative, supportive environment allowing best practices to be incorporated into treatments seamlessly. We have the resources of a large hospital system — pharmacist support, e-consults, resources to remain current, and state of the art facilities to ensure we provide high-quality care. Yet we have the freedom to provide individualized care for patients. I've felt very much a part of the team and leadership is approachable and accessible. "
