Students
Alpert Medical School has several avenues of admission. In addition to the
extremely popular and highly competitive standard route of admission opened in
2005, students may matriculate through the Program in Liberal Medical
Education (PLME), Brown’s eight-year baccalaureate-medical continuum.
Approximately two students per year enter through the MD/PhD Program.
Students may also enter through the Medical School’s partnership programs: the
Early Identification Program grants admission to distinguished undergraduates at
Rhode Island College, University of Rhode Island, Providence College, and
Tougaloo College (a historically black college in Mississippi) during their sophomore
year, and the post-baccalaureate pre-medical programs at Goucher College,
Bryn Mawr, and Columbia University all have linkages to the Medical School.
The Class of 2010 was the largest ever, with 92 students. The first-year class is
expected to reach 96 by 2007.
