From Brown’s website:



Is it ever okay to take required health careers courses in the summer at Brown or elsewhere?

In general, many health profession schools, and particularly medical schools, do not view summer courses as favorably as they do courses taken during the fall and spring terms at Brown. However, if you have a compelling academic rationale for taking summer courses elsewhere (e.g., to enable you to do study abroad) and if you think you will be a strong applicant, it can be fine to take a required course over the summer. If you choose to take a required course in the summer you should either do so at Brown or at a school with a strong academic reputation (we do not recommend community college courses). Furthermore, we do not recommend that you take more than one required class during the summer.
