Message from Associate Dean Jane Eisen

As we – faculty, staff, students, and administrators – accompany Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University into its fourth decade, we are entering a time of renewal, growth, and change. During this time, our bywords will be excellence, rigor, efficiency, and communication. The document you are about to consult, the BrownMed Faculty Handbook, epitomizes these qualities:

• it is web-based and therefore readily accessible to all faculty;
• it can be continually updated in real time and at no cost;
• and it centralizes disparate pieces of information formerly available only from separate sources.

The Handbook also contains numerous links, serving as a gateway to myriad websites of relevance and usefulness. The Office of BioMed Faculty Affairs has created an excellent resource for you, our faculty, and I urge you to take full advantage of it.
