Dermatology Residency

Nestled in Roanoke, Virginia, residents and fellows enjoy affordable living in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, while receiving advanced training through dynamic educational programs that form the core of our academic medical center. Residency and fellowship trainees at Carilion Clinic - Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine (VTCSOM) receive a superior education. Together with our primary and specialty physician practices, our network of hospitals provides ample opportunities to gain hands-on clinical experience in an academic setting. 

The majestic Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia that surround the Roanoke Valley provide a scenic backdrop for everyday life here.

But to fully enjoy your Blue Ridge Mountains experience you've got to put on some sturdy shoes and hike, bike, climb, paddle, or drive among them.

The region has received numerous awards and accolades for our outdoor amenities, including being named a Top Mountain Town and Top Trail Town from Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine. The Roanoke Valley was also named one of the ten most bike-friendly areas in the United States by USA Today Travel.
Is it a violin? Or a fiddle? In the Roanoke Valley, it's both. That's because we're home to the widest variety of music and cultural activities you'll find anywhere in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Spend your day combing through fine art at the Taubman Museum of Art or historic railroad photography at the O. Winston Link Museum.

Discover the region's rich visual and performing arts along the Round the Mountain: Southwest Virginia's Artisan Network or Arts Along Virginia's 460 trails. Or snag a work of folk art at a local gallery. Sit back and enjoy live theatre, ballet, opera, and the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra. Then, hit the town for a night cap of music and entertainment.
