welcome to brown!
I am excited you are interested in learning more about Emergency Medicine training at the Alpert Medical School of Brown University, located in the historic city of Providence. There is a tremendous amount of information you can learn about our 4 year training Program here on our Residency website (developed by our fabulous residents!) and there is more information about our faculty on our department website. As a brief introduction, I will highlight our Mission and the unique learning experience you will be a part of when you choose to train with us.
The Brown Residency Program is proud to be the first Ivy League Emergency Medicine training program established. Our primary teaching site is Rhode Island Hospital, a Level I Trauma Center, accredited stroke center, and regional tertiary care academic medical center. Rhode Island Hospital is home to one of the busiest Emergency Departments in the US, and over 106,000 patients came through the ED doors last year. Our ED is also among the top ten busiest trauma registries in the US.
"...among the top ten busiest trauma registries in the US."
"...superb clinical and educational opportunities in large volume and high acuity settings..."
In addition to the rich clinical experience at RIH, we have 2 additional training sites located on our campus, Hasbro Children's Hospital and Women and Infants' Hospital. Hasbro Children's is a leading pediatric specialty hospital and the region's only center for pediatric critical care. Women and Infants' is the region's main resource for women's health and specialty newborn care. Our main community site, The Miriam Hospital, has an annual census of 75,000 visits, and is located less than 3 miles from our Trauma Center. We also have residents spend some time at Newport Hospital, another community site in the beach town of Newport. All of our training sites boast superb clinical and educational opportunities in large volume and high acuity settings and you will work side by side with our academic faculty at each one of our clinical sites.
our mission is simple:
