Michael Wright is a second-year medical student at the Brody School of Medicine. He graduated from East Carolina University’s Honors College as a Chancellor’s Fellow with a B.S. in Public Health and an MBA prior to his matriculation to Brody. As an Eastern North Carolina native, Michael takes pride in giving back to his community. This spring, Michael was the event coordinator for Brody’s Pirates vs Cancer event, where he helped raise over $20,000 and shaved his head in support of local Pediatric Cancer patients at ECU Health’s Maynard Children’s hospital. Alongside his friends, Michael helped found the Brody Coaches Association, a community outreach group partnered with Greenville Parks & Rec, aimed at creating a safe environment for children to grow through recreational sports while sparking excitement for science at an early age. As a LINC Scholar in the Health System Transformation and Leadership distinction track, Michael has received training in patient safety, quality improvement and population health, and is currently working on a QI project in ECU’s Pediatric Medicine clinic. He hopes to use his experiences and education from Brody to one day become a Physician in Eastern North Carolina.

In his free time, Michael enjoys spending time with his friends and family, grilling out and cheering on the Pirates!
