Graduate Medical Education

At Old Dominion University, we believe that the best physicians aren’t mass-produced—they are cultivated through diverse experiences and tailored mentorship. Our Graduate Medical Education (GME) programs are designed to break the mold of "one-size-fits-all" training by leveraging a vast network of clinical settings.

From high-volume tertiary care centers to specialized outpatient clinics, our trainees rotate through a broad range of environments. This exposure ensures you aren’t just learning medicine in a vacuum; you are mastering the delivery of care across the entire healthcare spectrum.
