The SOM Research Environment & Resources

Research Environment

One of the great strengths of research at UNC-Chapel Hill is the collaborative culture. Collaboration is fostered by the 5 Health Affairs Schools [Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy and Public Health being adjacent to each other and to the College of Arts of Sciences. This encourages collaborations between physical, biomedical, clinical and population-based investigators.

Chapel Hill also offers a great deal both financially and culturally. Check out the relative buying power of $100 in all 50 states. Culturally Chapel Hill offers great restaurants, film, music, art and theatre.
