[quote=Anonymous]For a lot of reasons--some political--Brown's med school focuses on primary care. (Brown is the only med school in Rhode Island and gets a lot of state money. A generation ago, RI wanted to fix the situation in which anyone who needed a good hospital had to go to Boston. ) US News divides med school rankings into 2 groups: research and primary care. Brown is ranked at #19 for primary care, tied with UVa. Pitt is ranked at 34, tied with UChicago. Stanford is 22. For research, Brown is ranked #36. Pitt is 13. So, I wouldn't say that Pitt is a "much better" med school than Brown. Dartmouth ranks below Brown for both. If I had a kid who was sure they wanted to end up with a MD/PhD, I would not recommend Brown. However, if I had a kid who wanted to be an internist, pediatrician, family practitioner, etc. Brown is a great place to go. The focus of the med school is most definitely primary care. That is a bit unusual. [/quote]
