Mission Statement


To create a thriving culture within our academic organization, collaborating with dedicated high-quality mentors and physicians while providing holistic, full-scope patient care to the Greenbrier Valley and southern West Virginia regions.

Comprehensive Clinical Training

Our ACGME-accredited Family Medicine Residency comprises a team of 15 residents dedicated to rural medicine and community outreach. Our rural location enables our residents to practice full-scope family medicine.

Our program offers rotations at the following locations:

We are in the process of gaining osteopathic recognition; however, we have historically had a strong Osteopathic Curriculum for both osteopathic and allopathic residents through combined didactics and ONMM rotations.

Our residents have a 100% pass rate on the board certification exam, and many have graduated to become outpatient clinicians, inpatient hospitalists, nocturnists, program directors and chiefs of staff. Many of our graduates have since pursued fellowships in geriatrics, emergency medicine, sports medicine and more.

CAMC Greenbrier Valley Medical Center has a rich history that is deeply rooted in the community it serves. Greenbrier General Hospital opened in 1907 in Ronceverte, WV, and the facility quickly began to play an indispensable role in the region’s development.

Today, CAMC Greenbrier Valley Medical Center provides quality patient care and exceptional service to the residents of southeastern West Virginia and beyond. The hospital is one of Greenbrier County’s largest employers, offering a wide array of medical, surgical and outpatient services.

It serves as a teaching facility for family medicine residents from medical institutions across the country, including the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, which offers a cutting-edge approach to medical education.

Residents rotate and participate in continuity clinic at Robert C. Byrd Clinic. They also complete rotations at the Beckley VA Medical Center, which offers rotations in dermatology, geriatrics, psychiatry, pain management and more.

Choosing the CAMC Greenbrier Valley Medical Center Family Medicine Residency program felt like a natural fit for me. I am from a small town like Lewisburg, and rural health is important to me. GVMC offers a great mix of hospital medicine, outpatient family medicine and electives—and a true rural health experience.

Then, there's the town itself—simply beautiful. It offers a peaceful escape, a spot to catch a breath and unwind amidst the daily hustle and bustle, adding a refreshing touch to everyday life. I also love how friendly and supportive everyone is. It is great for residents like me to have passionate and experienced mentors and a modern, hands-on learning environment.

All in all, I feel this program offers the perfect mix of a close-knit community, a beautiful setting and a supportive work atmosphere - exactly the kind of place to grow professionally while enjoying every step of the journey.

I chose this program due to my interest in learning how to practice full scope family medicine in a rural setting. This program has given me the opportunity to learn in a strong out-patient setting under the experience of our attendings who are dedicated to our education. At the same time, my education has been broadened with our affiliation to the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine and Beckley Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Additionally, I have established a strong foundation for rural in-patient medicine through my training at Greenbrier Valley Medical Center. These experiences allow for a comprehensive training environment to establish residents as competent providers by graduation.
