OVERVIEW

The goal of the Program in Liberal Medical Education (PLME) is to graduate doctors, scholars and leaders in medicine who have been exposed to a wide, sensitizing view of the human condition and who are committed to bettering human health.

The PLME offers a unique opportunity to join undergraduate and professional studies in medicine in a single eight-year program. By combining the open curriculum concept of Brown (The College) and the competency-based curriculum concept of The Warren Alpert Medical School, the PLME encourages students of medicine to pursue in depth their interests in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences even as they prepare for their careers as physicians.
