Overview

Located in the city of Richmond, our residents have a rich exposure to both urban primary care and subspecialty care in a balanced curriculum. Residents elect one of four tracts with a structured didactic and experiential curriculum allowing residents to individualize learning and maximize education. The Children's Hospital of Richmond opened the new Children's Tower in April of 2023. The 16 story facility completes a city block with nearly 1 million square feet dedicated to caring for kids.
