University of North Carolina Hospitals Program
About This Program
Although our program is of moderate size, we see a remarkable number of unusual cases along with the more expected, so that residents are exposed to a wide variety of pathologic entities. The program provides opportunities for involvement with global health, including collaboration with a hospital in Malawi. Chapel Hill is located in a beautiful area with access to a variety of cultural experiences and outdoor activities, and is only a few hours drive from both the beach and the mountains.
