Pre-Health Career Pathways is proud to partner with health professional programs in Rhode Island that provide URI students with a competitive advantage.
In order to be nominated for them, we ask students to participate in a specific version of the PATH process, outlined below.
Brown Early Identification Program (BEIP) PATH Process:
In October of each year, eligible students will need to complete their Handshake profile and an applicant readiness form:
In mid-late fall semester, HPAC conducts a careful evaluation of each student’s academic and personal qualifications, including a personal interview. Based on the criteria noted in the box to the right, the Committee nominates students for the program and forwards a complete application and a letter of evaluation for each nominee to the Brown-Alpert Admissions Committee.
Only students recommended by the URI Health Professions Advisory Committee are eligible to apply to the URI-Brown Early Identification Program.
Following review of the application, the Admission Committee invites its most highly rated applicants (those who show exceptional promise for medical school and who are a good fit for the program) for an interview at Brown. Following interviews, the Admission Committee informs candidates of its decision.
JWU PA Program PATH Process
In February, students are asked to attend our information session via Zoom with the Director of Admissions from JWU’s PA program.
After attending, students that meet the minimum qualifications will complete the PATH steps before May 15.
See the button to the left for a full timeline, qualifications, and steps required to be nominated.
