The Brown Medical Annual Fund (BMAF) is the foundation for innovative medical education at Brown. It provides students with the resources needed to pursue a variety of research, educational, and clinical experiences. Every dollar of BMAF is put to use immediately, ensuring a robust experience in the classroom and beyond while providing our students with valuable opportunities for growth.

Your gift to the Brown Medical Annual Fund supports:

  • Bringing the most talented medical students to Brown through scholarship aid.
  • Funding for the Doctoring program, which provides all first- and second-year students early exposure to real patients and medical practice.
  • Increasing access to a variety of enrichment opportunities through service learning and community service.
  • The Scholarly Concentrations program and curriculum development to expand academic offerings and stay up to date with the latest trends in medicine, science, technology, and public health.
  • Summer research that allows students to explore a future career path or ignite a passion that enhances their practice of medicine.

Advancing Diversity in Medicine Term Scholarship

Our mission is to improve the health and wellness of all. To do that, we need to attract and train students from all backgrounds. For many students the cost of a medical education can be a huge barrier. 

With the Advancing Diversity in Medicine Term Scholarship, we’re aiming to remove that barrier. Establishing this annual term scholarship provides an opportunity for students from diverse backgrounds to avail themselves of all that a Brown medical education has to offer.

As a result of my rich undergraduate research experiences, I decided to apply for Brown’s MD/PhD program, specifically in computational biology. The MD/PhD program is nationally recognized for its education in the liberal arts, which is supplemented by The Warren Alpert Medical School’s commitment to preparing medical students for careers dedicated to equitable patient care and health equity. As a result, I continued conducting research in health equity throughout medical school while leveraging my computational skills through the Scholarly Concentration Program, an elective program allowing medical students to pursue rigorous study of a cross-disciplinary field.
