Dear Medical Student,
Thank you for exploring our internal medicine program at LewisGale Hospital Montgomery located in beautiful Blacksburg, Virginia! Our program is well-established and has been training residents since 2008.
Due to our unique location next to Virginia Tech, we have a large variety of patient populations to prepare our resident physicians for independent practice.
Furthermore, being an HCA facility, we connect you to the largest healthcare organization and the largest sponsor of graduate medical education in the United States, giving you the best of both worlds - academics and research opportunities as well as community-based training in a smaller setting.
I have been the internal medicine program director at LGHM for over a decade. However, I started my post-residency career after residency here in 2007. In fact, most of the core faculty have worked here for most of my time as program director providing our program with stability and decades of experience, both as internal medicine physicians as well as teaching faculty.
In addition to solid medical training, our program is situated in a major Appalachian college town, about 45 minutes from a larger city, Roanoke, Virginia. This provides residents with the energy of a college town and easy access to city amenities as well as amazing hiking and mountain-life activities and views.
Thank you for considering us, and I look forward to meeting you virtually and being able to share more about our internal medicine program and the opportunities available to you with us!
Sincerely,
William S. Cox, DO, MBA
Program Director
