Mission Matters: In-State Retention of NC Medical School Graduates
By Julie Spero
Nov 20, 2018
- The Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University has a legislatively mandated mission: to increase the supply of primary care physicians to serve North Carolina. Only North Carolina applicants are considered for admission to ECU.
- Consistent with this mission, a higher proportion of ECU’s graduates practice in-state compared to other NC medical schools.
- The language in the mission of each medical school is aligned with the relative proportion of graduates who practice in NC.
This work was supported by the North Carolina Area Health
Education Centers.
