Eastern Virginia Medical School

oughly five decades ago, a group of dedicated physicians and community leaders decided to improve the quality R of health care in southeast Virginia. The idea of a medical school in Hampton Roads gained momentum in 1964 when local citizens — concerned about the shortage of physicians and scarcity of specialized care in the region — persuaded the Virginia General Assembly to create a medical authority charged with starting a school. EVMS was founded by the community in 1973 to improve health through teaching, discovering and caring. Today, EVMS holds an honored position in American history as one of the only medical schools founded and funded by a grassroots effort. Over the years, EVMS has more than satisfied its original purpose, both educating health-care providers and serving as a magnet to attract much-needed medical specialists to a region where many basic services were lacking. Many who are educated at EVMS choose to stay and practice in the region, and the school’s impressive portfolio of teaching affiliates include 16 of the region’s foremost medical centers and approximately 150 private practices around Hampton Roads. The collaborative culture at EVMS draws like-minded students and faculty from all over the country. The school attracts highly qualified medical personnel whose wide range of medical care might otherwise be beyond reach. And the medical research conducted by EVMS faculty is quickly reflected in improved patient care. EVMS offers a variety of graduate and doctoral degrees and certificates in the medical and health professions. In 47 years, EVMS has grown from a class of 27 students to 598 medical and 740 health professions students in the 2019-20 academic year. Today, EVMS ranks among the top 20 non-federal employers in the region and has an annual economic imprint of more than $1.2 billion in Hampton Roads.

The seal is used to authenticate official documents such as diplomas and other legal records. In 1895, representatives of America’s leading academic institutions met to adopt a code of academic dress. Besides regulating the cut, style and materials of the gowns, the code prescribed the colors that were to represent the different fields of learning. The EVMS presidential seal, a symbol of Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) and the Eastern Virginia Medical Authority (EVMA), depicts triple interlocking strands representing the essential relationships needed for an excellent regional Today, with few exceptions, the academic robes are black and the colors of the hood reflect the field of learning and academic academic health network.

The velvet is usually black; however, these facings and crossbars may be of the color appropriate to the degree.

The mace is one of the oldest traditions in academia dating back to the early 1400s when it transitioned from warfare to ceremonial use. An academic mace Dark Blue – Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Sciences, Doctor of Philosophy in Reproductive Clinical Science – symbolizes the authority invested in the President by the school’s governing body.
