The possible dream, as noted by Dr. Moore and supported by ECU’s President Jenkins, was the creation of a medical school at East Carolina University. Their goal was to supply a medical school that would adequately meet the needs of North Carolinians, particularly those residing in Eastern NC. How it would do so was by equipping its doctors to provide care comparable to the care offered by doctors graduating from the other medical schools in the state.
