GNY EP.214 | feat. Becca Brown
Surgical physician assistant and Le Moyne professor Becca Brown joins Noah Chrysler on Good News York to share surprising stories from the cadaver lab—and her own extraordinary experience as a patient.
Becca explains how donated bodies help train future healthcare professionals, why anatomy doesn’t always look like the textbooks, and how students balance curiosity with respect. She also opens up about a rare condition that allowed her to hear her eyes moving, the surgeries that changed her life, and the provider who made a difference simply by listening.
Plus: teaching with humor, finding confidence through Syracuse Improv, and navigating AI in healthcare and education.
