Tiffany M. Peters

Tiffany M. Peters serves as a Teaching Assistant Professor in the Department of Anatomy & Cell Biology at East Carolina University's Brody School of Medicine, directing and teaching Histology and Cell Biology for first-year medical students.

Her academic credentials include:

• B.S. from University of Notre Dame
• D.D.S. and M.S. from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
• General Practice Residency at Carolinas Medical Center, Department of Oral Medicine

Dr. Peters' research centers on innovative methodologies for teaching basic sciences in healthcare education, with secondary interests in oral pathology etiologies and tobacco cessation interventions. Her work uniquely integrates dental clinical expertise with medical curriculum development, particularly examining how oral health procedures influence patient behavioral changes.

Publication trends reveal dual expertise: clinical case reports in oral pathology (2020) and behavioral studies on tobacco/alcohol use modification (2017), both published in high-impact dental specialty journals.

Her institutional engagements span ECU's Brody School of Medicine (current), ECU School of Dental Medicine (former), and UNC Adams School of Dentistry (former adjunct role), demonstrating consistent cross-school collaboration within dental and medical education.
