The Medical Journalism Program at UNC-Chapel Hill is one of the nation's first master's programs in medical journalism.

The Medical Journalism Program teaches the skills needed to work as a practicing medical journalist in print and electronic media. Students also gain the knowledge and background necessary to pursue further research in medical journalism.

Application deadline is Jan. 1 for admission the following fall.

The overall mission of the program is to educate journalists so that they can communicate the wonders and complexities of science and medicine in ways that capture the imaginations of viewers, listeners and readers. Competent medical journalists provide a bridge between the scientist and the consumer.
