In the PLME, enrichment means more than academics–it’s about engaging the whole student. Through a wide range of experiential learning opportunities, PLME students are empowered to grow intellectually, professionally, and personally. 

From hands-on research, including the opportunity to apply for the PLME Summer Research Assistantship and collaborate with Brown’s vibrant community of researchers, to global experiences through study abroad and summer exchange, students explore ideas that extend far beyond the classroom.

PLME students have the unique opportunity to study in Germany, China, and Taiwan, while still enjoying access to the broader range of international opportunities available to all Brown students. Our professional enrichment offerings, including the transformative Whole Patient Program, help students cultivate the empathy, insight, and holistic perspective essential to patient-centered care. With additional options like pre-clerkship electives, students are encouraged to shape their own learning journey and pursue what inspires them, both in medicine and in the wider world.
