The ECU Brody School of Medicine held its 10th annual Medical Education Day. The event celebrates innovation in the medical field and offers an opportunity for leaders, educators, and students to promote changes in the industry.
The event was all about the discoveries being made in the medical field. It showed the growth of the medical community here in Eastern North Carolina with presentations and posters that allowed presenters to showcase their research.
Before the presentations started, ECU alumni Doctor Andrew Southerland gave a keynote speech about the impact of AI and Chat GPT in the medical field. After his speech, members of the event interacted with presenters about their projects, which were later judged in front of the crowd.
“Fills me with pride to see what our students are capable of doing. From start to finish the projects that then get adopted and adapted here and become a part of what is the Brody fabric,” said Dr. Jill Sutton, Obstetrics and Gynecology associate professor.
“This is really just an opportunity to share ideas and make sure we’re all together focused on how we can take the next step in medical education and I think that’s really what today all about and why I’m excited to be here,” said Brody School of Medicine student Ryan Dickerson.
Many of the topics mentioned at the event promoted education enhancement in certain fields including anatomy, and radiology, as well as tools that would help promote these subject matters.
Presenters in Thursday’s event featured not just students. Faculty and staff, as well as resident physicians, collaborated and looked forward to highlighting the curriculum and technologies used at the Brody School of Medicine in the future.
