Students in the two-year program can complete clinical rotations at HCA Virginia hospitals, freestanding emergency rooms and outpatient imaging centers, the release said.

The program’s first cohort is expected to graduate in May 2026.

HCA Virginia is a regional division of Nashville, Tenn.-based HCA Healthcare.
