The Brown Foundation offers School of Engineering Medicine (En Med) scholarships to a subset of Brown Scholars interested in pursuing a first-in-the-nation program that blends experiential learning in engineering innovation with medical school training to create a new kind of doctor, a Physicianeer. EnMed students simultaneously earn master’s degrees in engineering and medicine in four years. Through the E2EnMed Early Assurance Program, The Brown Foundation proffers high school candidates for conditioned admission to EnMed. Texas A&M has granted the Brown Foundation the right to have fifteen Brown Scholars annually matriculate to EnMed.
There are 13 Brown Scholars currently enrolled in EnMed and 36 Brown Scholars enrolled in the E2EnMed Early Assurance Program (E2EnMedEAP)
Capstone innovation projects address medical needs identified by research investigators at the Houston Methodist Research Institute who may also be in collaboration with Texas A&M faculty.
Interested EnMed students apply to Houston Methodist detailing their 2-year project description and budgetary needs. Students with approved projects receive mentorship, lab space and funding from Houston Methodist and are also responsible for progress updates to ensure project compliance.
Each individual or team member who is selected as Outstanding Capstone Project receives an award and $5,000 and an additional award and $5,000 is given to the Outstanding Faculty Mentor at a Capstone Awards dinner at Houston Methodist.
