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.

Each student will rotate through three, 16-week courses: Care of Specific Populations (CSP); Hospital, Interventional and Surgical Care (HISC); and Community Based Longitudinal Care (CBLC). Each student will be assigned to start in one of the three courses and complete the other courses in subsequent trimesters.

Curricular opportunities in GSO

Humanities in Medicine

Humanities in Medicine offers UNC students an opportunity for fellowship while sharing their educational experiences in a non-judgmental environment with a faculty mentor over dinner. Discussion topics have included moral distress in medicine, compassion as a basis for healthcare, navigating complex medical systems, witnessing death, the joy sand challenges of becoming a doctor and the occasional use of short articles to stimulate lively discussion topics of group interest.
