The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University (the 'Medical School') requires that students, faculty, and staff review integral features of our academic and learning environments once per year to ensure its community is well informed, and to be compliant with our accreditation requirements pursuant to the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME, our accrediting body). Components that require verification include curricular elements (e.g., course objectives, assessment methods), certain policies (e.g., anti-discrimination policy, student duty hour policy), and other documentation (e.g., Handbooks).

Please take some time to review the information below and certify that you have done so in OASIS. (Note: policies are subject to change. The Medical School will inform its community of changes to policies.)
