Dr. Felix holds the Ray ’62 and Christine Hayworth Medical Alumni Distinguished Teaching Professor, co-leads the Neurosciences block in the Foundation Phase, and serves as an academic advisor at Cross College. Most recently, she led the development and implementation of the Individualization Phase curriculum, including the development of an Elective in Porto, Portugal, and the Scholarly Concentration Programs at the UNC School of Medicine.

Dr. Felix was born in Portugal and completed Medical School at the University of the Witwatersrand, in Johannesburg, South Africa, with subsequent residency and fellowship training in Boston. Dr. Felix has been a member of the UNC Chapel Hill Faculty since 2002.
