Message from Kenneth Steinweg, MD, Interim Chair...
Family Medicine is one of the founding departments of the Brody School of Medicine. Since its establishment in 1977, our department has earned a national reputation for developing innovative programs in education, research, and patient care. We remain committed to applying the principles of family medicine to contemporary practice.
The Brody School of Medicine was founded with primary care as its purpose and especially to train students for practice in eastern North Carolina...All of the medical school supports this mission.
Our strengths include:
Strong nationally known faculty including over twenty family physicians, in addition to researchers, behavioralists, nutritionists, and educators. This faculty has been recognized repeatedly with awards locally and nationally.
A nationally-known, vibrant residency program that provides exceptional training in a broad, family medicine-based curriculum.
A strong, well-established predoctoral division providing education to Brody students in every year of their curriculum. The Brody School of Medicine has one of the highest percentages of students in the country selecting family medicine for their primary care residencies.
This department fosters a nurturing and supportive environment in which everyone can work together successfully. I invite you to explore our website to learn more about what we do. If you are in the Greenville area, please do not hesitate to visit or call us.
