Welcome from the Vice Chancellor for Health SciencesGreetings from the more than 2,200 faculty and staff in the Health Sciences Division. You have come to a great university, one that takes pride in its transformative role in eastern North Carolina through its mission of teaching, research and service. The Health Sciences Division is on ECU’s west campus and consists of the Brody School of Medicine, the College of Allied Health Sciences, the College of Nursing, the School of Dentistry, Laupus Library and the East Carolina Heart Institute. The Brody School of Medicine enrolls nearly 300 medical students, trains medical residents and fellows, and awards a master’s degree in public health and doctorates in six fields. It is ranked among the top schools in the country in areas such as educating primary care physicians – part of its mission – rural health care and sending graduates into family medicine. The College of Allied Health Sciences educates more allied health professionals at the bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels than any other university in the state. Most of its graduates choose to stay in North Carolina to practice. The College of Nursing prepares graduates as baccalaureate generalists, advanced practice specialists at the master’s level and scientists at the doctoral level. It produces more new nurses than any other nursing program in the state. The East Carolina Heart Institute consists of an outpatient, research and educational building on the west campus and an inpatient bed tower at Pitt County Memorial Hospital. The new School of Dentistry, expected to enroll its first class in 2011, will focus on educating dentists to provide general care to North Carolinians. Laupus Library serves the division as well as the Eastern Area Health Education Center and University Health Systems of Eastern Carolina with books, journals, electronic resources and more. We welcome you to ECU and invite you to visit our campus and consider our group medical practice, ECU Physicians, for your health care needs. |
