University of North Carolina Secondary Application

Overview

The University of North Carolina School of Medicine is a 4-year MD program that opened in 1879, although there is evidence that instruction started before the civil war. UNC School of Medicine offers multiple educational opportunities and programs for students to explore their interests. These include primary care programs, dual degrees, scholarly concentrations, programs for diverse students, research, foreign language education, international opportunities, technology in medical education (TiME), and a rural program. The TEC Curriculum has three separate phases. It is student-centered and patient-centered, with the ability to respond to the changing healthcare environment. The application phase of the curriculum can be completed at the Asheville, Charlotte, Wilmington, and Chapel Hill campuses. UNC has a Cicerone Mentor Program to provide peer mentorship across the classes.
