The number of PLME students is quite large. How much support does each PLME student receive from faculty advisers and such?
We receive IMMENSE individual advising, and there’s a lot of advising that’s offered. All the same, you, the student, should be very forthcoming and proactive regarding advising from both PLME deans and the Brown academic deans as well.

How is the medical education at Alpert?
I’ve taken a few electives at the medical school, but have no direct experience with Alpert otherwise. The new school is beautiful, absolutely state-of-the-art, and the professors I’ve met thus far are very engaging and great at what they do. It’s a very collaborative environment, from what I understand. Professors/Researchers are very accommodating of undergrad students with deep interest as well.

How large is the patient base of the hospitals affiliated with Alpert?
Mostly RI residents, as bruno14 stated. The network is very similar to the Harvard/Mass Gen/Children’s hn too.

Is Alpert’s medical faculty accessible and supportive of its medical students?
YES. Again, though, it’s all the student. You can get as involved with the PLME/Med school as you want, and the faculty will always hear you out, and will often help by directing you to the resources you need.
