We're very excited to launch the first video of a brand new series called RN: Real Nurses. This month, our featured nurse is Ellen Ciompi (think like an Italian and pronounce her last name with a "ch"), a cabaret artist.

Dr. Margaret Gourlay of UNC is lead author of the study, which is published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Biomedical research is increasingly being outsourced to developing countries, raising concerns about the potential for exploitation of vulnerable populations. In response, UNC researchers are spearheading projects to cultivate a culture of bioethics in several African countries.

Whether photographing a child in the streets of Vietnam or consulting with a patient about a diagnosis, Dr. Paul Godley employs his intuition and charming personality to put the person in front of him at ease within a matter of moments.
