Volunteer Opportunities

Help Our Students Travel (HOSTs) volunteers provide a place for fourth-year medical students from The Warren Alpert Medical School to stay while traveling for residency interviews or month-long away rotations.

This program matches fourth-year medical students with an alumni or parent host in a community where they are interviewing or completing an away rotation. If matched with a student seeking housing in their area, hosts will be contacted by the student directly to check availability and coordinate the stay.

Requirements:

  • Medical alum, undergraduate alum, or Brown parent with a room to spare
  • Live in proximity to a hospital system

Commitment:


Residency Interviews

  • Residency interviews take place between October and February
  • Provide no-cost accommodations for up to one to three nights

Away Rotations

  • Away rotations take place between June 1 and September 30
  • Provide no-cost accommodations for a four-week continuous stay
  • Must be able to host for the full month-long duration without breaks
