The purpose of this grant is to provide funding to East Carolina University’s Brody School of Medicine for a summer program that enhances the ability of underrepresented and non-traditional NC students to matriculate to medical and dental school. Over 62% of past graduates of the program that attended medical school are now practicing primary care physicians in NC, and data indicates that program graduates are more likely to practice in economically disadvantaged areas of the State.
