UNC Family Medicine promotes the discovery and dissemination of knowledge important to clinical practice, teaching, and improvements in the organization of health care. We aspire for our research to answer questions that matter in individual and population primary health care. We work in partnership with other organizations and research communities in order to find answers to family medicine and general health issues. Our researcher's specialties are numerous and diverse: from exploring ground-breaking Zika research, to improving geriatric and dementia care, to understanding tobacco use and cessation patterns.
