           We are incredibly grateful to the State of North Carolina for investing in a new medical education building for the Brody School of Medicine at @EastCarolina. All of Brody's students are N.C. residents and as N.C. residents, they have a special message for their state.

             M2 Angie Gibson drove to what may be the most remote clinic in the state for her preceptorship at Ocracoke Health Center. “I come from Iron Station, [and] my family didn’t always have health insurance. I know firsthand how rural areas suffer when it comes to health care.”

             Well done, Alessio! The Brody Scholars program was created through gifts from the Brody family and the Brody Foundation. Since the program began in 1983, 163 medical students have received the award. Thank you, Brodys!

             Students from Camp Schreiber made the trip from Wilmington at the invitation of Brody Scholar Hailey Lewis (M2) for a field day that included sim lab exercises, med ed, and a visit to the East Care helipad. Lots of M2s helped. Loved having you Schreibers!

             Which works better to prevent cardiovascular and kidney events in type 2 patients, GLP-1 receptor agonists or SGLT2 inhibitors? That’s what Dr. Shiv Patil and Dr. Beatriz Ramirez want to know. They just got research $$$ from @BrighamWomens for the PCORI-funded PRECIDENTD study.

             Researchers published this hopeful study of a couple of brain receptors. One is the cannabinoid receptor. The other may be “a signaling partner” that raises oxidative stress. When that one was blocked, the heart and brain were better protected! #ARRRGH1
