The University of North Carolina Hospitals (UNCH)<\/a> serve as a referral center for the people of North Carolina and as a primary care facility for the local community. It is also home to a Level I Trauma Center and serves as lead institution for the Mid-Carolina Regional Advisory Committee. UNCH is located in the Division of Health Affairs complex on the south campus of the University. The Schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health, and Social Work are located in the same complex. UNCH comprises the main teaching center for the UNC School of Medicine at Chapel Hill. A 684-bed facility, UNC Hospitals includes North Carolina Memorial Hospital, North Carolina Neurosciences Hospital, North Carolina Women\u2019s Hospital, the North Carolina Children\u2019s Hospital and the recently completed North Carolina Cancer Hospital.<\/p>\n

\"UNC<\/p>\n

The North Carolina Children\u2019s Hospital<\/a> relocated to a separate, state-of-the-art structure in 2002. Each year, more than 32,000 children from all 100 North Carolina counties come to UNC in over 92,000 visits for diagnosis and treatment. This new family-focused hospital serves as the primary teaching facility for UNC pediatric residents. It adjoins the North Carolina Women\u2019s Hospital which opened in 2002. Carolina Air Care, a sophisticated ground and helicopter transport system, provides transportation for selected sick children from community hospitals to the NC Children\u2019s Hospital.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nWakeMed<\/strong><\/span>

\"\"WakeMed<\/a> is a 870-bed private, not-for-profit health care system serving the population of Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina, and surrounding communities. The patient population varies widely and ranges from professionals who work in RTP whose primary doctors do not do Hospitalist medicine to the rapidly growing immigrant population from Mexico and Central America that calls North Carolina home. Most UNC residency programs use Wake Med as a training site. Rotations at Wake Med for UNC med\/peds residents may include inpatient medicine, inpatient pediatrics, and outpatient pediatrics. Attendings at Wake Med are dedicated clinician educators with UNC faculty appointments. The ride to Raleigh takes approximately 40 minutes from Chapel Hill.<\/p>\n
