Serving more than one million patients across Virginia, Carilion combines the resources of a large integrated delivery network with the culture, collaboration, and influence of a close-knit medical community.

Providers have a voice in clinical strategy, program development, quality initiatives, and the future direction of the organization. Physicians benefit from the stability and resources of a leading health system while practicing in a collaborative environment that values innovation, teamwork, and professional autonomy.

Academic Medicine Without the Barriers

Through its unique partnership with Virginia Tech, Carilion offers physicians the opportunity to teach, mentor, and inspire the next generation of healthcare leaders through the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine. Faculty appointments, resident and fellow education, curriculum development, and mentorship opportunities allow physicians to build meaningful academic careers while remaining deeply connected to patient care.

Research That Translates to Patient Care

Physicians at Carilion have direct access to one of the region's most innovative research ecosystems through the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute. Opportunities exist to participate in clinical trials, translational research, implementation science, quality improvement initiatives, and multidisciplinary collaborations that bring discoveries from the laboratory to the bedside.

Build Programs and Create Lasting Impact

Whether joining an established specialty program or helping launch a new clinical service, physicians are empowered to lead. Carilion's continued investment in specialty care, graduate medical education, research infrastructure, and major clinical expansions creates opportunities for physicians to grow programs, develop new services, and leave a lasting impact on the communities they serve.

A Destination for Teaching, Discovery, and Care

With more than 680 employed physicians, numerous residency and fellowship programs, a Level I Trauma Center, advanced specialty institutes, and a nationally recognized academic partnership with Virginia Tech, Carilion offers physicians the rare opportunity to practice, teach, conduct research, and lead—all within a single integrated health system.

Beyond the practice, Southwest Virginia offers something many physicians are searching for but rarely find: more time for what matters most. Here, your commute is measured in minutes, not hours, allowing you to spend less time in traffic and more time with family, friends, and the activities you enjoy. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Roanoke Valley offers four distinct seasons, abundant outdoor recreation, and breathtaking scenery just minutes from your doorstep. Whether it's hiking, mountain biking, fly fishing, kayaking, trail running, or simply enjoying a weekend on the Parkway, adventure is always close by.

The region's affordable cost of living allows physicians to enjoy a quality of life that can be difficult to achieve in larger metropolitan areas. Homes are more attainable, communities are welcoming, and relationships run deeper. This is a place where neighbors know one another, where professional relationships become lifelong friendships, and where you can build meaningful connections both inside and outside the workplace. Southwest Virginia offers the opportunity to pursue a rewarding career without sacrificing the lifestyle you've worked so hard to achieve—a place where you can grow professionally, raise a family, explore the outdoors, and truly put down roots.

At Carilion Clinic, you'll join a mission-driven organization where clinical excellence, academic medicine, research, and innovation come together to improve the health of patients today while shaping the future of medicine for generations to come.

Company History

A Health System Built for the Future of Medicine

Carilion Clinic's story is one of transformation. What began more than a century ago as a community hospital in Roanoke has evolved into one of the nation's largest physician-led, integrated healthcare systems, serving nearly one million people across Virginia and West Virginia. Today, Carilion is recognized not only for exceptional patient care, but also for its commitment to academic medicine, research, innovation, and physician leadership.

Over the past two decades, Carilion has intentionally transformed from a traditional hospital system into a fully integrated model that connects hospitals, specialty institutes, primary care practices, graduate medical education, and research under a unified vision. This evolution has created an environment where physicians can practice at the highest level while helping shape the future of healthcare delivery.

A defining moment in Carilion's growth came in 2007 with the creation of the Virginia Tech Carilion partnership. Together, Virginia Tech and Carilion launched the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine (VTCSOM) and the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute, establishing a nationally distinctive academic health sciences campus in downtown Roanoke. Both institutions opened in 2010 and have since become catalysts for medical education, biomedical discovery, and regional economic growth.

Today, the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine is recognized for its innovative curriculum that develops physician leaders who are equally skilled in patient care, scientific inquiry, and systems-based practice. Research is embedded into the student experience, creating a culture where discovery and clinical excellence are inseparable. Students learn alongside Carilion physicians and researchers, preparing them to translate new knowledge directly into patient care.

The Fralin Biomedical Research Institute serves as the research engine of the partnership, bringing together physician-scientists, biomedical researchers, engineers, and data scientists to advance discoveries in neuroscience, cardiovascular science, cancer, metabolism, infectious disease, and precision medicine. Since opening, the institute has expanded significantly in both size and impact, helping establish Roanoke as an emerging destination for biomedical innovation.

Carilion's commitment to cardiovascular care has followed a similar trajectory. Through the Carilion Cardiovascular Institute (CVI), physicians care for patients across the full spectrum of cardiovascular disease while participating in multidisciplinary programs, clinical research, advanced imaging, structural heart interventions, electrophysiology, heart failure management, vascular surgery, and population health initiatives. The integrated nature of the health system allows cardiovascular specialists to collaborate seamlessly across inpatient, outpatient, and regional referral settings, creating opportunities to build programs and expand access to advanced care throughout the region.

For physicians, the result is a unique practice environment rarely found outside major academic medical centers: the clinical complexity and academic opportunities of a university-affiliated health system, the collaborative culture of a physician-led organization, and the ability to directly influence the health of an entire region. Whether your interests include patient care, teaching, clinical research, innovation, or leadership, Carilion offers the resources, partnerships, and vision to support a meaningful and impactful career.

At Carilion Clinic, you are not simply joining a health system—you are becoming part of an organization that is actively shaping the future of medicine through care, discovery, education, and innovation.
