UNC Family Medicine provides patient-centered primary care, conducts groundbreaking research, and trains the best and the brightest young doctors. We aim to support and improve the health of the communities we serve, with a special commitment to the underserved, mothers and children, the elderly and other populations at risk in a time of rapid changes in the organization of health care. We are concerned with both current needs and future generations. UNC Family Medicine is educating tomorrow’s health care professionals and medical researchers. Our residency has been consistently top-ranked in the nation, because we provide exceptional support and an integrated curriculum in state-of-the-art facilities. Our education efforts don’t end with our residency: here at Family Medicine, we also provide continuing support for medical student education and fellowships in clinical practice, research, sports medicine and preventative medicine.
