title: Educating the next generation of leaders in medicine: The Scholarly Concentrations Program at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.
abstract: The establishment of the Scholarly Concentrations Program represents an important aspect of overall curriculum reform, and of the institution's commitment to the education of medical students. This initiative has great potential to create knowledge and develop future leaders, and we look forward to its growth and evolution. We anticipate that the SC Program will raise the profile of the Alpert Medical School of Brown University nationally, and ultimately carve a distinctive place for the school among the top medical education programs in the country.
