It is the mission of the
School of Medicine to train competent and caring physicians
for
the state of North
Carolina. The school also understands that the process
of becoming a physician is a life-long pursuit forged
through experience and continued education. Therefore,
the training
of a medical student does not end after 4 years of formal
education. The purpose of the medical school curriculum
should be to educate students in the biology, evaluation,
and management
of those under their care as a foundation on which
to build the social, communal, and political understandings
that
make a complete physician. Our curriculum must also
provide the student with an understanding of informatics
and the
motivation for ceaseless self-development, so that
our future physicians can enrich this basic knowledge
throughout
their careers and provide service to our patients and
to society.
