<p>Can anyone tell me about brown’s early identification program?</p>

<p>do you mean this? <a href=“Program in Liberal Medical Education | Medical School | Brown University”>Program in Liberal Medical Education | Medical School | Brown University;

<p>I first heard about this program this year. So no info from me, other than what’s on this website: </p>

<p>You have to be a Rhode Island resident or attend Tougaloo College.</p>

<p>Actually, not just RI resident, but

emphasis added</p>

<p>It’s an awesome program for the students who qualify. It’s a way for RI residents to be able to attend med school in their own state (since Brown’s got the only med school in the state). Tougaloo students qualify due to Brown’s historical connection with Tougaloo.</p>

<p>I think there are 3 Tougaloo students, and maybe 3-4 RI EIP students in my med school class, to give you an idea of the scope of the program.</p>

<p>maybe remind people how big the alpert med class is, @bruno14, it’s ~120, right? So 6 or 7 out of the 120.</p>

7

<p>Yeah, it’s 120 right now, though I believe it’s growing starting next year with the new primary care program being added.</p>

What is the workload like at the alpert medical school?

9

workload doesn’t vary much from med school to med school. It’s a lot. Way more than undergrad.

10

How can i best prepare for the medical school workload? I am a urm.

htouray, are you in college now? in high school? And I don’t see how being a URM has anything to do with this.

If you are in HS, I wouldn’t worry now about med school. If you are in college – go talk to your college’s premed advisor. Make sure you take all the required classes for premed. Seek out assistance from your college – go to the writing center, work with tutors, etc. Take the most challenging classes, do any additional reading.

@htouray‌ You’re in high school. Right now, focus on getting top grades in undergrad. No need to focus on med school, yet. 75% of premeds never go to med school.

Once you’ve “proven yourself” with excellent grades in prereqs and other classes…then ask these questions.
