Student Services

At Alpert Medical School, we strive to help you expand your experience beyond the medical curriculum. These pages are designed to point you toward whatever resources you might need to enrich your experience, both academically and socially. You'll find information about financial aid, academic support services, research and funding opportunities, official policies, student organizations and "extracurricular" activities in Providence and beyond.

The links at left provide helpful information on funding sources and awards that can support, in whole or in part, your academic development. These sources come from within the Medical School and beyond. They can provide support for scholarly experiences, travel to academic conferences, leadership training and research.

Legal Services for Students

This service is ideal for students seeking quick legal consultation for a personal issue free of charge. It is possible for minor issues the legal consultation may suffice, and in other cases a referral for more extensive legal consultation would be possible. This service is being provided to medical students in conjunction with the undergraduate and graduate council of students. Contact: Leonard O'Brien, J.D. of Macfadyen, Gescheidt, and O'Brien.

Located at the Sarah Doyle Women's Center on Tuesdays, 4:30-6:30pm and available for phone consultation on Thursdays, 3:00-5:00pm. During the winter and summer break, O'Brien is available two hours a week by phone on Thursdays from 3:00-5:00pm. Office phone number is 401-751-5090; students should ask for him directly.
