* It was first started by The Lewis-Gale Foundation in the late 1960s with the Whitman Lectures when Lewis-Gale was located in downtown Roanoke. In the 1970s, bimonthly conferences were begun, and in 1982 Lewis-Gale Consortium was formed and accredited by the Medical Society of Virginia.  The organization was established by The Lewis-Gale Foundation, Lewis-Gale Hospital and Lewis-Gale Clinic.  These three organizations have remained the critical components of what is now known as Continuing Medical Education of Southwestern Virginia.
