Welcome

About Us

Since its beginning in 1879 the school has had the loyalty and support of the ever-increasing number of its alumni.  The largest concentrations of these alumni have been in North Carolina but are also scattered throughout the fifty states, with some in foreign countries as well.  There are currently over 12,000 living alumni of the UNC medical center.  This number consists of all medical school graduates of both the two-year and four-year program; all house officers who have trained at UNC Hospitals; graduates of the University receiving a Master of Science or Doctoral Degree in the Basic Science Departments of the Medical Allied Health Department of the School of Medicine; and all current faculty.

The Medical Alumni Association actively supports many student, alumni and faculty programs.  The association is organized and exists for the mutual benefit of its members, to improve the practice of medicine, to promote the general welfare of the School of Medicine and the health resources of the people of the State of North Carolina.
