Eastern Virginia Medical School at Old Dominion University Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a university-affiliated integrated Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery residency at Eastern Virginia Medical School, built around a multi-site tertiary and safety-net clinical network anchored by Sentara Norfolk General's Level I trauma and burn center, the region's only freestanding children's hospital (CHKD) for craniofacial and pediatric reconstructive work, and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth for military-affiliated training in the first two years. The program's stated identity centers on treating complex trauma, congenital deformity, and burn reconstruction in a culturally diverse, coastal Virginia and northeastern North Carolina referral population rather than an elective/cosmetic-heavy caseload. Structured rotations across five distinct hospital systems (community orthopedic-focused, women's health-focused, pediatric, military, and trauma/burn) suggest the program values residents comfortable moving across varied institutional cultures and acquiring broad reconstructive and trauma exposure rather than a narrow subspecialty focus.
