Campbell University's Lillington, N.C.-based Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine and Lumberton, N.C.-based Southeastern Health have received full accreditation from the American Osteopathic Association for their emergency medicine residency program.
It will be North Carolina's first osteopathic emergency medicine program, and the sixth emergency medicine residency program in the state.
"This residency program is one of many new programs the medical school is developing to advance the mission of educating and preparing physicians to care for the rural and underserved populations in North Carolina, the southeastern U.S. and the nation," said John Kauffman, DO, dean of the medical school, in a statement.
