About Us

The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Rhode Island’s only school of medicine, is home to a community of scholars and physicians dedicated to the highest standards in education, research, and health care.

Since granting its first MD degrees in 1975, Alpert Medical School has become a national leader in medical education and biomedical research. By attracting first-class physicians and researchers to Rhode Island over the past three decades, the Medical School and its seven affiliated teaching hospitals have radically improved the state's health care environment, from health care policy to patient care.
