Eastern Virginia Medical School Reviews

"As a honest medical student and member of the EVMS community, I would strongly recommend you look elsewhere for your medical training. Not only is EVMS lacking much in the way of resources that other comparable medical schools may have, the culture that exists at EVMS is one that is counterproductive to success, this can be reflected by the above average faculty turnover and employee dissatisfaction (per online employer reviews). From the student's standpoint, I would have to say hard work is not recognized at this school. The school and the administration cherrypicks favorite students from the pool and these are usually the students who have spent a year or two prior to matriculation in the school's post-baccalaureate "Medical Masters" programs. These students are afforded extra accolades and recognition throughout their time at the school and carry this forward while other students who were not a member of this program are consistently treated as second-class citizens. I would like to add that the infrastructure that exists at this school for financial aid, IT services, etc. is very poor. The financial aid department is completely inept and has witnessed great turnover as well. With regards to IT services, it does not go long that there is some difficulty with this regard, be it the internet, network restrictions, or the inability to use vital resources such as the Google Drive.Read Less"

"Overall, EVMS is a quality MD program that is constantly working to improve the experience and better prepare its MD students for life as a practicing physician."

"One pro of attending Eastern Virginia Medical School for your MD degree is the size of the school. Due to it's smaller size it is easy to network with faculty, staff, and doctors in the area. The faculty is extremely friendly and always willing to help their students. One con of attending Eastern Virginia Medical School is the lack of research opportunities as this school is more clinically focused."

"It was a wonderful school and a great experience, I wouldn't have enjoyed medical school as much had I gone elsewhere. It is a very community oriented school and fosters volunteering."

"Eastern Virginia Medical School is a great place to be getting my medical training. The professors and physicians here are very supportive of all students, making it a very friendly and comfortable place to be spending a very busy and stressful 4 years!"

"EVMS is a wonderful school and great learning institution to further yourself in the medical field."
