GLAAM (Gays, Lesbians and Allies Advancing Medicine) provides students at the Warren Alpert Medical School with opportunities to advocate for LGBTQ patients, find physician mentors, and foster a strong student community. Members of GLAAM offer free screening and counseling services at health fairs and other community events, and also organize educational talks at the medical school. Education within the group consists of sharing medical literature related to LGBTQ issues and lunchtime talks with health care providers who participate in advocacy and/or conduct research in areas of interest. GLAAM also helps organize medical and graduate student social events to keep the greater Brown LGBTQ community and its allies connected.
