These are just a few of the women that Brown University has the good fortune of naming among our ranks. Though much has been accomplished, there is still further to go to. #NationalWomenPhysiciansDay ... See MoreSee Less

  For the last 50 years, the health of the Medical School and Rhode Island have been deeply intertwined. This notion is exemplified in an exercise in relationship building known as Inter-professional Education, or IPE Day.Students studying medicine, pharmacy, social work, nursing, and physical therapy came together Wednesday to learn how to rely on one another's skills and specialty training to offer the best care possible to their future patients.They worked together in small groups to diagnose and offer treatment recommendations to standardized patients suffering from a variety of pretend maladies.Members of the Warren Alpert Medical School, University of Rhode Island, and Rhode Island College (RIC) communities noted that the exercise was helpful because it allowed them to meet and interact with other healthcare professionals before entering the high-stakes setting of a hospital room. #brownmd50 ...
