Cancer Cell Biology Training
The UNC Preventive Medicine Residency Program has received funding from the
American Cancer Society since 2001 for preventive medicine residency training
in cancer prevention and control.
Preventive medicine residency training consists of two years - an academic
year, during which residents enroll in the School of Public Health for a Master
of Public Health degree, and a practicum year, during which residents complete
several activities, including a major research project and a rotation at the
Cancer Prevention and Control Branch of the NC Division of Public Health.
Coursework, the research project and the public health agency rotation will
all focus on cancer prevention and control. Residents will take part in the
activities of the UNC Lineberger Cancer Control Education Program and will
have an opportunity to work with nationally-known faculty in the Schools of
Medicine and Public Health and the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Residents will receive a stipend, tuition and fees, and support for travel
and research expenses.
For more information about the UNC Preventive Medicine Residency Program,
please see the preventive
medicine residency information page.
For an application and print information, please email Program Manager Kim
