Help Our Students Travel (HOST)

Alumni are our institution's greatest ambassadors, advocates, and educational partners. A new program called HOST — Help Our Students Travel — is designed to connect Brown medical students with alumni volunteers during the residency interview process. Coordinated by the Brown Medical Alumni Programs office, HOST will grow the national network of Brown medical alumni while reducing medical students' expenses as they travel around the country for residency interviews.

As an alumni volunteer, you are asked to provide a student or students with a free place to stay during the interview process. You are also in an optimal situation to share your personal residency training experience and insight into the medical center and community in which they are interviewing.

Being a HOST alumni volunteer promises to be a memorable experience for alumni and students alike. You will learn firsthand about the Medical School today, the new curriculum, and changes on campus. In addition, you will have the opportunity to renew your personal sense of pride as it is reflected in these outstanding students who have met the challenges of a highly demanding medical program.

If you are interested in becoming a HOST volunteer, please fill out a registration form. If you have questions about the program, please e-mail Bethany Solomon, director of alumni and parent programming, or call Bethany at 401 863-1635.
