Dr. Jelani Brown is a PGY-2 at NYU Langone Rhode Island site. He was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, where he grew up going to the movie theaters and shows on broadway. He completed his undergrad at the University of Rochester, where he earned a BS in Electrical engineering. Later, he realized his true passion in dentistry and made a career change. He attended the University at Buffalo school of Dental Medicine, where he became a student lobbyist for ASDA Advocacy, and a community volunteer. Jelani created a large network of student volunteers in buffalo to develope skill-based activities for youth at refugee centers. This team would also provide resources and supplys to the children there. This experience bolstered his goal to educate and support children through their health endeavers, and pursuing a specialty in pediatrics was how he would do that. Jelani has learned so much from his peers and attendings throughout his two years of training, and is looking forward to treating the community of children where he resides.
