Graduate Medical Education
Our residency and fellowship programs are approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) and the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists (ASHP).
MAHEC was established in Asheville, NC, in 1974 with a clear mandate to improve health across Western North Carolina while creating a robust and well-qualified healthcare workforce. In 2017, MAHEC and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill expanded their partnership through UNC Health Sciences at MAHEC. This academic health center is addressing Western North Carolina’s biggest healthcare challenges by leveraging MAHEC’s nationally recognized expertise in interprofessional primary care and long-standing community partnerships with UNC’s world-class research and educational excellence.
MAHEC sponsors ACGME-accredited residency programs in family medicine (with locations in Asheville, Boone, and Hendersonville), general surgery, internal medicine, ob/gyn, psychiatry, and a transitional year program. MAHEC also sponsors ACGME-accredited fellowship programs in addiction medicine, addiction psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry, consultation-liaison psychiatry, maternal-fetal medicine, sports medicine (with locations in Asheville and Boone), and surgical critical care. In addition, MAHEC sponsors a CODA-accredited dental residency and ambulatory care pharmacy residencies recognized by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) that include first- and second-year and geriatrics-focused programs.
