Our faculty provide exemplary training and are committed to teaching in a small group environment while residents have the opportunity to learn from well-trained and experienced staff. Many of them have additional training in interventional radiology and cardiology, sports medicine, joint replacement, spinal surgery, geriatrics, palliative care, faculty development, and research.
Through affiliations with VCOM, the Salem VA Medical Center, Carilion Clinic, Johnston-Willis Hospital, and many other physicians in the area, we provide depth and diversity to our program.
Behavioral science training is integrated in all residency programs, giving our residents critical relationship skills with a better understanding of the role of human behavior in the practice of medicine. At LGHM, we are committed to providing state-of-the-art training and developing the person behind the physician.
