Asheville Curriculum
Beginning in 2025, students will rotate through six clinical course rotations of eight weeks each: Community-Based Primary Care Medicine, Surgery, Inpatient Adult Medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Psychiatry with a supplemental longitudinal curriculum in Social and Health Systems as well as competency attainment.
The UNC SOM Asheville campus provides clinical education for third- and fourth-year medical student sat MAHEC, regional hospitals, and outpatient practices in Western North Carolina utilizing an innovative longitudinal curriculum that has been replicated across the nation.
The Asheville campus started in 2009 with a cohort of four students in collaboration with UNC School of Medicine, Mission Health, and MAHEC. Since then, the Asheville campus has grown to more than 30 Application Phase (third year) students per year.
