Jeffrey Brown, M.D., is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and licensed in the state of Maryland. As a physician, author, and professional speaker his central goal is to help bridge the gap between what doctors know and what patients understand. Since his residency training at the Johns Hopkins University/Sinai Hospital Program, and throughout his years working in emergency rooms, hospital wards, and in clinic settings from Johns Hopkins Hospital to Harvard’s Mass General, Dr. Brown has encountered thousands of patients who have little knowledge of their personal health history and chronic illnesses. As a result, he has been on a path to fill the knowledge gap that exists between physicians and their patients, spending much-needed time with patients explaining their health problems in simple, plain language. In addition to authoring Health Power 101: the Complete Guide to Patient Empowerment , Dr. Brown is also the founder and president of Health Power 101 Seminars, LLC, which has been created to empower patients, caregivers, and health-conscious individuals to take charge of their health.
