How do HBCU medical schools in North Carolina rank in terms of primary care education?

I'm strongly considering the primary care track and I'd love to go to an HBCU in North Carolina for med school. Could anyone shed some light on what the rankings are like, specifically for primary care?

Certainly! In North Carolina, there is one prominent HBCU medical school, which is the Morehouse School of Medicine. When evaluating how it might align with your career goals in primary care, it's important to look at factors such as the curriculum, clinical experiences, residency match rates, and any community health programs they might offer. While rankings can give you an overview, they might not tell the entire story of the school's quality or fit for you personally.

One thing to know about this med school up front is that they have a strong commitment to serving underserved communities, and this mission is woven into their primary care programs. You may want to reach out to the admissions office or current students to get a better sense of the school's offerings and how well they align with your own ambitions in medicine. Also, don't forget to review their match lists and see where graduates are heading for their residencies, as that will be a crucial next step in your journey towards becoming a doctor.

Finally, if possible, consider visiting the campus, as you want to be sure that the environment is one where you'll be able to thrive even while juggling the strenuous demands of medical school. Remember, the right school for you should help you towards your personal goals as well as your professional ones, and offer you the necessary support and resources to succeed.

Good luck with your journey towards med school!
