As one of the largest hospitals in the state of Virginia, the 825-bed facility located in Roanoke recently completed a large expansion project, adding a new Emergency Department, Labor and Delivery unit, and the Carilion Clinic Children's Hospital, complete with a Pediatric Emergency Room.

Carilion Clinic is a physician-led healthcare organization with more than 500 physicians in a multi-specialty group practice and eight not-for-profit hospitals.

Carilion Clinic’s Department of Graduate Medical Education currently supports residency training in family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, general surgery, neurological surgery, and a transitional year. Carilion also sponsors fellowship training in child and adolescent psychiatry, geriatric medicine and geriatric psychiatry. In addition, Carilion Clinic is actively engaged in the planning and development of new residency programs in emergency medicine and pediatrics, as well as fellowship programs in pulmonary and critical care, infectious diseases, and cardiology.

Virginia Tech and Carilion Clinic are bringing together the power of research, innovation and medicine to create the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine (VTC) and the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute. The school and research institute will capitalize on Virginia Tech's world-class strength in basic sciences, bioinformatics and engineering. They will also utilize Carilion's excellent physicians and rich history in medical education to train the next generation of physician leaders. The charter class is planned for August 2010.
