Fellows may serve in committee or leadership roles in Brown's EM residency, guiding the popular medical student elective in EM, or serving on the Alpert Medical School curriculum committee
Education Scholarship
Clinical Growth
A limited clinical schedule - typically 2 shifts per week in one of BrownEM's teaching sites - allows for growth as an attending emergency physician while developing as an educator. Program graduates appreciate this opportunity to continue to develop their clinical skills in a time-protected manner.
