Welcome to SCRUBS
SCRUBS is a student-driven initiative that aims to develop supplemental resources for current and future cohorts of medical learners that will pass through the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University and associated Health Science Programs.
Members of SCRUBS participate in a variety of sub-committees working to create resources for students, by students. These resources aim to offer a unique perspective from students who have walked in the same shoes, developing resources that we wish we had been exposed to during our time in the medical curriculum.
​
Our aim is for this organization to become a staple of the student body, exemplifying the unique collaborative community that Brody offers. We hope to demonstrate that such a community can be built together through the collective effort of all students. If you have a desire to help those who will come behind, as well as a goal to leave your mark on Brody, we invite you to join the team!
