Welcome
It is the mission of the School of Medicine to train competent and caring physicians for the state of North Carolina. The school also understands that the process of becoming a physician is a life-long pursuit forged through experience and continued education. Therefore, the training of a medical student does not end after 4 years of formal education. The purpose of the medical school curriculum should be to educate students in the biology, evaluation, and management of those under their care as a foundation on which to build the social, communal, and political understandings that make a complete physician. Our curriculum must also provide the student with an understanding of informatics and the motivation for ceaseless self-development, so that our future physicians can enrich this basic knowledge throughout their careers and provide service to our patients and to society.
