Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University is a relatively young medical school with a strong primary care orientation. The school established a three-fold mission in 1974 that continues to serve as a guiding framework for our overall educational efforts:
- To increase the supply of primary care physicians to serve the state
- To improve the health status of citizens in eastern North Carolina
- To enhance the access of minority and disadvantaged students to a medical education
Consistent with our overall educational mission to train future physicians in service to the people of North Carolina, the Office of Medical Education at BSOM was established with the following mission:
- To support the teaching faculty and others in the process of providing an accredited program of undergraduate medical education leading to the MD degree
- To provide leadership in curriculum development, program evaluation and educational consultation to our faculty and administration
- To provide needed educational support services for faculty as well as medical students, with emphasis on maximizing the overall educational experience and achievement of specified learning outcomes
The Office of Medical Education is a unit of the Division of Academic Affairs.
