Why a New Medical Education Building?
2014
More people will
require medical
care as health
reform goes into
effect
2015
65+
population

by 30+%.
They will
require more

U.S.
physician
shortage
estimated to
reach >
60,000
2020
1/3 of
today’s
practicing
MDs will
have retired
We expect a physician shortage in North
Carolina by 2020

17. UNCSCHOOLOFMEDICINE
Our ability to meet NC’s need for more
physicians is constrained by inadequate facilities
Current Medical School Building
• Opened in 1970, but designed to meet the needs
of the 1960s
• When the building opened, we had 353 medical
students. In 2014, we trained 2,400.
• Teaching spaces not optimal for today’s teaching
& learning style
• Competing Medical Schools across the country
have invested in facilities to meet the demands of
21st century medical education
• Despite top-tier program offerings, recruiting top
students is difficult with existing learning spaces

18. UNCSCHOOLOFMEDICINE
The UNC School of Medicine is the State’s
largest physician teaching program
• The UNC School of Medicine is a top-tier, nationally
prominent medical school.
• Recent US News & World Report Rankings
#2 for Primary Care #6 for AIDS
#5 for Rural Medicine #22 for Research
• In 2014, 2,400 students were trained across 26
departments and 23 centers.
• We graduate 180 new physicians each year; 1/3 match
into residencies in NC.
• To meet the growing needs of North Carolina, we
expanded our medical school training to campuses to
Asheville 2009, Charlotte 2010 and pending approval
Wilmington 2016.
• Nearly half of all doctors trained at the UNC School of
Medicine practice in the state of North Carolina.

NC Medical Schools**

2014. They have not yet graduated a class.

19. UNCSCHOOLOFMEDICINE
The delivery method for Medical Education has
changed significantly since 1970
From large section, auditorium style
lecture…
…to smaller-scale, multi-faceted,
hands-on learning
• Immersive Experiences
• Simulation Laboratories
• Integrated Learning
Support
• Informal Interactions
• Small Group Breakdown
• Communication
Development
• Procedural Skills
Techniques
• Team-based Medicine
• Convergence of Physical
& Virtual
• Self Directed Learning

20. UNCSCHOOLOFMEDICINE
Educate More NC Doctors = Save More NC Lives
• The new medical education building will be home to all students for their first two
years of foundation training.
• Students will be based in Chapel Hill and at our regional campuses in their third and
fourth years:
• Asheville
• Charlotte
• Wilmington
• School of Medicine class size can be increased to
accommodate growth in these regional programs
• Current class size of 180
• Approval by the Board of Governors is
already in place for a class size of 230
