UNC-Chapel Hill #1 Priority: New Medical Education Building to Educate Next Generation of Physicians for North Carolina

Why a New Medical Education Building?

2014More people will require medical care as health reform goes into effect

201565+ population will increase by 30+%. They will require more and longer care

2015 U.S. physician shortage estimated to reach > 60,000

20201/3 of today’s practicing MDs will have retired

We expect a physician shortage in North Carolina by 2020

E D I C I N E

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

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.

• 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
