Greetings Medical Alumni!
Though the temperatures and calendar remind us it is still summer, the Medical School has been busy getting ready for the 2020-21 academic year, which starts next week! Though it will look a little different, the rigorous, innovative curriculum Warren Alpert Medical School is known for will continue.
Inside Insight
- The Offices of Medical Education (OME) and Student Affairs have provided updates on each class that can be read in full here.
In Case You Missed It
- President Paxson’s July 7 letter to our medical students included Brown’s Plan for a Healthy and Safe 2020-21 and confirmed that, assuming public health conditions allow large events to safely take place, Reunion and Commencement Weekend is scheduled for April 30 to May 2, 2021, celebrating the MD graduating classes of 2020 and 2021.
- OME has assured fourth-year medical students that they are adjusting the curriculum accordingly so all graduation requirements will be completed prior to this earlier-than-usual commencement date. More details to come.
- On July 21, Judson Brewer, MD, PhD, presented a webinar about mindfulness and other ways health care workers can cope within the scope of the coronavirus pandemic. Watch it here.
