The Patient Advocacy Coordinating Council (PACC) has as its mission the formation of socially responsible physicians. This is accomplished by fostering opportunities for patient advocacy in the Brown Medical School curriculum and extra-curricular student life. The main avenue for promoting advocacy is helping develop, funding, and collaborating with medical student projects, programs, and organizations that have patient advocacy as the principal objective. PACC is comprised of representatives from existing medical school organizations and its meetings are open to all interested students. PACC may also organize its own events to promote training in advocacy, organizational management, and/or to educate medical students about conditions faced by various populations of patients.
To this end, PACC seeks to connect Brown medical students with community organizations working to address the needs of underserved and marginalized segments of the surrounding Rhode Island community. An additional goal is to foster cooperation among BMS student organizations around patient & community advocacy. Seed grants of up to $500 per project per semester are available to support student-initiated advocacy projects.
