Training for Future Generations: Innovations in the Medical Education of Physicians in North Carolina

N C Med J. 2019 May-Jun;80(3):163-166. doi: 10.18043/ncm.80.3.163.

Abstract

North Carolina's five medical schools are responding to the changing health care landscape and continued shortage of rural, primary care physicians through curricular innovations. Early indications suggest that these innovations-involving themes of longitudinal training, immersive experiences, practice transformation, and health equity promotion-will lead to a new physician workforce.
