Meeting the CUSOM Mission North Carolina Regional Clinical Campuses Rural and Underserved Health shortage areas Medically underserved areas Early Clinical Experiences Service Projects Student Run Community Care Clinic Local Community Clinics Health Screening Bus Migrant Workers International Opportunities Guatemala Honduras Ecuador Haiti Jamaica Armenia Student Organizations North Carolina is facing a critical shortage of primary care physicians because of the significant growth of residents and an increase in its aging population. North Carolina’s population has grown from 5.5 million in 1980 to 9.5 million in 2010 with virtually no increase in the number of doctors graduating from the state’s four medical schools each year. According to a 2010 study published by the Association of American Medical Colleges Center for Workforce Studies, the populations that will be most impacted by a decreasing supply of physicians include rural and underserved populations. 20% of Americans live in rural or inner-city populations. Campbell University is strategically positioned to serve the medical needs of eastern North Carolina. Students will gain early clinical experience beginning in the first year and will continue through all four years of their education. Early clinical experiences will emphasize the importance of developing the student’s ability to generate a robust differential diagnosis. Campbell University has always had a strong commitment to service, and this is no different for the School of Osteopathic Medicine. The support to local service projects will nurture our commitment to the community and serve those people in need in Harnett County.
Clinical Campuses New Region #6: Carteret Hospital in Morehead City 6
Goals of Clinical Education Provide exceptional clinical education in the art and science of osteopathic medicine Through hands-on training in rural and medically underserved areas, students will gain an appreciation for the many rewards of rural and community based medicine Be recognized for continued excellence in clinical medical education Maintain high academic standards and consistency Collaborate with our regional partners to support outstanding Osteopathic experiences and meet CUSOM’s Mission To be recognized for excellence in graduate medical education. Achieving and maintaining full compliance with AOA standards Achieving and maintaining high student, resident and graduate retention rates Maintain high academic standards Meeting local, state, and regional workforce needs (i.e. Primary Care) Offer placement services for graduates that want to contribute to the programs Collaboration with our regional partners to support Osteopathic graduate learning experiences in medical education and medical education research Student and resident rotations, mentoring, research and rotations for all specialties To develop a robust research operation: Emphasis on hypothesis-driven and outcomes research Research infrastructure supported by the university and our teaching affiliates Emphasizes collaborative research between clinicians, basic scientists, residents and students – lead by example

High Quality Standardized Clinical Curriculum The standardized curriculum ensures that all students, regardless of the geographic location of their clinical rotation, will complete the same clinical objectives and didactic lessons. In order to ensure a high quality, standardized curriculum, the Associate Dean works with the Clinical Chairs to develop: Online syllabus Clerkship objectives Required textbooks and reading assignments Clinical cases to enhance student learning Supplemental instructional videos

Community-Based Campus Advantages Students are part of the community - remain “local”; establish connections and roots Students become integral part of healthcare team Better tracking of student progress over the course of the year Students often pursue residency spots at their sites of training and increase chances of them practicing in the community Consistency for students in relationship to Regional Dean/DSME, site coordinator, educational activities, computer systems, policies/procedures etc CUSOM-appointed faculty delivering a standardized curriculum Financial support for Regional Dean/ DSME and Site Coordinator
General Teaching Service Students with a CUSOM-appointed teaching physician who manage patients by the team. The interdisciplinary team A faculty-appointed teaching physician A senior resident (PGY-2 or PGY-3) 1 or 2 junior resident(s) (PGY-1) 1 or 2 Medical student(s) 1 Physician Assistant and/or Pharmacy student Responsibilities Management of the patients Morning report Daily teaching rounds Students & residents gain broad experiences in the management of a diverse population of patients
