Resident Life

First colony to declare independence from England and last to join the Union, Rhode Island is the smallest state, yet it offers an eclectic blend of natural resources as well as diverse people and cultures. With a population of 170,000, Rhode Island's capital, Providence, is a medium-sized city teeming with diversity, both ethnic and socioeconomic. As a resident or fellow in an Alpert Medical School-affiliated program, you'll have the opportunity to work in an urban setting that offers a high patient volume and superb clinical experiences.
