![]() (There still is a lot of overlap, but just not as much as I’d expect…again all observations anecdotal so take with grain of salt). I’ve seen a number accomplished kids reporting admission to multiple top-selective schools but not Brown, and other kids who only get into Brown. The open curriculum was very radical when first adopted, although more common now.Īnecdotally, I have noticed same thing you observed. The open curriculum falls under this strategy. In short, be an alternative to HYP, not just a lesser HYP. (Sorry, I do not know what that certain something might be). So it makes sense to march to different drummer, accept kids that show a certain something, and reject the kids who have high stats but not a certain something. But they can compete for what matters most–people. This means it is very difficult for Brown to compete head-to-head vs other top schools in terms of facilities, salaries, financial aid, and so on. Harvard is 10x Brown! All other ivies also well ahead in $$. So Brown has to differentiate itself by other means–and nothing is so important as your people. ![]() If I were Brown, I would not want to be the school that people attend by default simply because they couldn’t get in to HYPS. I have no inside information, but I suspect Brown realizes it has to be a bit different to compete for students. Department of Veterans Affairs’ 2022 National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report. Veteran suicide statistics obtained from the U.S. PTSD statistics sourced from National Center for PTSD. To learn more about Brown’s values in medical training, read 50 Years of “A Humanistic Approach to Medicine” “I will always continue to strive to decrease the stigma of mental health care by serving as a role model of a psychiatrist who treats others with unconditional high regard, listens to understand, provides empathy, and inspires hope,” says Mitchner, adding that he remains “committed and excited” to continue training the next generation of practitioners to serve communities in need. Whether in his clinical or teaching roles, he keeps the human side of medicine front and center. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mitchner was interviewed on local media about suicide prevention, social isolation, and loneliness. In addition to patient care and mentoring, Mitchner speaks locally and regionally to nursing students, psychology majors, social workers, and first responders where he seeks to combat disinformation about PTSD and other mental health disorders. He provides individual and group psychotherapy to more than 500 veterans annually, both virtually and in person, while also mentoring psychiatry residents. His clinical interests and expertise include the psychopharmacological management of mental health disorders. He is a staff psychiatrist at the Veterans Affairs Boston Healthcare system and an assistant professor in the department of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Landis Mitchner MD’99 RES’03 has been providing clinical care for almost 20 years. According to Roy, this therapy is much better tolerated and is achieving impressive results. Instead, it asks patients to imagine a movie theater in which they leave their body in their seat in order to project a short, black-and-white movie that represents their trauma on the screen. That revelation propelled Roy into his research on Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM)-a trauma-focused therapy that does not employ more widely used exposure techniques. It wasn’t until he began working with Gulf War veterans in the mid-1990s, however, that he saw just how far-reaching the effects of PTSD can be, adversely impacting other psychological conditions and medical conditions like diabetes and hypertension. After graduating from Brown, Roy completed his residency in internal medicine at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he honed his skills in the assessment of depression and anxiety. Retired Army colonel Michael Roy ’84 MD’88 is a professor of medicine and director of the Division of Military Internal Medicine at Uniformed Services University.
