Caring Across North Carolina

We care for patients across various inpatient hospitals, procedural units, outpatient clinics, skilled nursing facilities, the NC prison system, and now, using virtual care,  increasingly  in  their own homes.


Clinical Trials

As academic clinicians, we perform research that moves patient care forward, including clinical trials that look at new ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease. Volunteers may participate for the opportunity to receive cutting-edge treatments for specific conditions, and to help others. Explore our searchable database to find clinical trials in the Department of Medicine.

Care by Division

In addition to primary care  (ranked #1 by US News and World Report for three years in a row) and secondary care across all internal medicine subspecialties, we have  specialty  programs in various areas. Please visit our divisions to learn about specific programs.


High Value Care

The Department of Medicine promotes high value care through the “Value-Care Action Group” (VCAG). VCAG champions in each Division review current practices looking for improvements for high-value outcomes in healthcare. High-value is defined by the quality of patient-centered care achieved per unit of cost. The “value” in value-based healthcare is derived from measuring health outcomes against the cost of delivering the outcomes.

To date, VCAG improvement efforts include an outpatient diuresis clinic, an eConsult service, a specialized inpatient diabetes management service, and a patient education initiative that improves care for cancer patients while reducing unnecessary visits to the ED.
