Our residents have the opportunity to participate in leadership development throughout their residency training. The following programs are specific pathways of formal scholarship that our residents have the ability to participate in through The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University:
The Brown Residency International/Global Health Training (BRIGHT) Pathway is a two-year scholarly program designed to train residents across multiple specialties in global healthcare locally and abroad. Participants are paired with individual faculty mentors and identify and complete a global health scholarly project. Noon conference lectures and quarterly evening meetings allow networking among scholars. Residents in Obstetrics and Gynecology generally elect to participate in the BRIGHT pathway during their PGY2/3 or PGY3/4 years.
Brown Advocates for Social Change and Equity (BASCE) seeks to develop health care leaders who have a passion for engaging their peers in dialogue around issues of racism, cultural diversity, inclusion, social justice, and health equity. The program builds a community of medical students, residents, and faculty who have been trained to facilitate cross-cultural activities and dialogues on race, unconscious bias, and health equity within our peer community and respective health care systems. The sessions focus on critical thinking and dialogue, mentoring, and active workshopping of a project. Visit the program website for more information.
Residents are now able to participate in Brown’s Program in Education Faculty Development. The school of medicine holds seminars focused on Medical Education that traditionally have been held in the evening at the medical school campus, ~8 per year. Everything has now been transitioned to Zoom which makes them easier to get to! If you participate in 5 of these sessions over a 3 year time period, you can earn a Certificate of Participation. This is a great opportunity to fine tune your education skills and become more involved in Med Ed.
