Program Starts From cratch Continued from page 16 present time they are focusing on magne- sium's role as protection against heart disease, childhood earaches, the effect of alcohol of fetal development, and region- al family disease patterns. At the present time, the medical school is in the process of receiving Ph.D. au- thorization in the fields of anatomy, bio- chemistry, microbiology, physiology and pharmacology. The development process for new Ph.D. programs was instituted in 1975 and will reach fruition with its first candidates for degrees in August of 1979. These programs will be the first such studies to be initiated in the state of North Carolina since 1971 and the first Ph.D. program for ECU. By the summer of 1981, the East Caro- lina University School of Medicine will occupy a nine story Medical Science Building, adjacent to Pitt County Memori- al Hospital, which will house all of the Medical School's departments, clinics, labs and classrooms. At that time, the enrollment in the school's medical educa- tion program will have risen to 200 future physicians. 18 f Med School
