School of Medicine

UNC School of Medicine trains the next generation of health leaders in four thriving campuses across North Carolina. Our MD and health professional students, as well as our graduate trainees, engage with an innovative, flexible curriculum that advances their skills and understanding through a wide range of opportunities for research, enrichment, and community engagement.

To recruit and train the best and brightest students, residents, and fellows – and provide them every opportunity while they are here – we depend on the partnership of our SOM community to support scholarships, faculty excellence, enrichment funding and more!
