Enrichment Activities The Medicine in Action Program offers undergraduates and medical students a chance to observe physicians in their working environment. Students can explore a variety of clinical settings, observe physician/patient relationships firsthand, go on rounds with the medical team, and get to know individual Medical School faculty and alumni more closely. Medical students are offered the opportunity to hone their career choices by seeking mentors in their area of interest. The Foreign Studies Fellowship Program offers PLME students an opportunity to integrate an international studies experience into their educational plan during the early or later years of their education. Sponsored by the Medical School’s International Health Institute, the program provides travel grants to PLME and Brown medical students for international health research and/or clinical projects in developing nations. Note: PLME students are encouraged to explore options to study abroad through the Brown University Office of International Programs. A significant number of students elect to study abroad for a semester or a year. The PLME Senate is a student organization that works to foster a sense of community and early professional development among PLME undergraduates. The PLME Senate coordinates the Whole Patient Program (for freshmen), which is centered around patient case presentations, and the Whole Physician Program (for all PLMEs), which focuses on physician and medical student panel events. The Senate also plans social and community service activities during the year. Be sure to check out the medical school's Student Interest/Volunteering Groups. |
