Brown’s Open Curriculum offers PLME students the freedom to explore diverse academic interests while preparing for a career in medicine. Students can design an individualized education plan that integrates a scientific foundation with the humanities, social sciences, or arts, developing a deeper understanding of the human experience.

As architects of their own education, PLME students gain independence, creativity, and critical thinking skills, qualities essential for leadership in medicine and beyond. The result is a dynamic, self-directed learning experience that prepares students not only for medical school, but for thoughtful, innovative contributions to the field.
