Introduction
Alpert Medical School, 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 1975, when it conferred its first medical degrees, the School has had two major goals for its graduates: that they be broadly and liberally educated men and women, and that they view medicine as a socially responsible human service profession. Brown Med alumni are consistently accepted to the top residency programs in the country and go on to be practitioners, teachers, and leaders in academic medicine and other health care-related professions.
