The Warren Alpert Medical School (formerly known as Brown Medical School, previously known as Brown University School of Medicine) is the medical school of Brown University, located in Providence, Rhode Island. Originally established in 1811, it was the third medical school to be founded in New England after only Harvard and Dartmouth.[2][a] However, the original program was suspended in 1827, and the four-year medical program was re-established almost 150 years later in 1972, granting the first MD degrees in 1975.[3]

Today, the Warren Alpert Medical School is a component of Brown's Division of Biology and Medicine, which also includes the Program in Biology.[4] Together with the Medical School's seven affiliated teaching hospitals, the Division attracts over $300 million in external research funding per year.[5]
