PROVIDENCE, R.I.Brown University says its medical school's relocation last year to a new facility near downtown Providence has allowed it to enroll its largest medical education class ever. <\/p>\n
The university says the Warren Alpert Medical School's class of 2016 has a record 120 students, including 64 women and 56 men. <\/p>\n
The medical school opened a new building in the so-called \"Knowledge District\" a year ago after a $45 million renovation project. University officials said then that the relocation would allow the program to expand from 100 students per class to 120 -- and eventually 150. <\/p>\n
Students in the incoming class range in age from 20 to 32; a dozen have graduate degrees in other fields. The university says one is a Marine combat veteran and another has hosted TV cooking shows. <\/p>\n
