Selection Patterns:
We are looking for bright, inquisitive, highly motivated physicians. We evaluate each candidate on his or her individual merits. Personal qualifications, potential, and expressed desire to train at The University of North Carolina influence your decisions more heavily than the reputations of schools attended. The average resident in our program is outgoing, fully integrated into the anesthesia care team, adept at problem solving, and industrious. He or she enjoys intellectual challenges and can comfortably enter discussions in which sharply different views are being expressed. Our residents pursue interests outside medicine and remain well-rounded individuals during the demanding years of training.
