OSTEOPATHIC EDUCATION
The Next Generation of Physicians:
BY SARAH H. BOWMAN, JD
Let's face it; healthcare is changing.
The current healthcare workforce is
aging and the nature of healthcare
delivery systems are evolving due to
insurance, medical technology and
other factors. In this environment,
Campbell University is committed
to opening North Carolina's second
largest medical school.
In 2013, 162 first-year medical students
were welcomed at Leon Levine Hall
of Medical Sciences, which is the first
building on Campbell University's new
Health Sciences campus in Buies Creek.
This means Campbell medical students
are part of healthcare teams in five
regions of North Carolina, including
Fayetteville.
The mission of Campbell University's
Jerry M. Wallace School of w Medicine
is "to educate and prepare community-
based osteopathic physicians in a
Christian environment to care for the
rural and underserved populations in
North Carolina, the Southeastern United
States and the nation." That mission is
being fulfilled.
"We are thankful to have partners in
medical education throughout North
Carolina," says Dr. John M. Kauffman,
Jr., Dean of the medical school.
