CurriculumThe goal of the curriculum is to interlace problem solving into all aspects
of didactic and clinical experiences. Every basic science and preclinical
course has a seminar component that will involve group collaboration on
increasingly difficult cases and topical problems intended to make problem
assessment, solution research and self-reflection equal components of
knowledge acquisition. This philosophy continues throughout the four
years of clinical training. Unique to ECU are the clinical experiences in the
Community Service Learning Centers, located in rural and underserved
communities across North Carolina. Utilizing the best practices in health
science informatics, the curriculum is designed to provide the highest
level of educational experiences in a collaborative and challenging environment.
The students are required to play an active role in their success as young professionals.
