Dr. Lorenz is the Associate Program Director for the Med-Peds residency program. He attended medical school at the University of Tennessee and Med-Peds residency training at Brown (Class of 2019), where he completed the Clinician Educator Track and BRIGHT pathway. He splits his clinical time between the Med-Peds continuity clinic, where he took over leadership of the refugee clinic in 2021, and Rhode Island Hospital / Hasbro Children’s Hospital, working as a teaching hospitalist on both pediatrics and internal medicine. He is a recipient of the Dean’s Excellence in Teaching Award, the Doctoring Program’s Excellence in Teaching Award, and the Department of Medicine’s Beckwith Family Award for Outstanding Teaching.

He is passionate about medical education, refugee health, and narrative medicine. Matt loves the outdoors, a good campfire, houseplant resuscitation, and getting the best of his office-mate, Justin Berk.

What’s your favorite thing about living in Rhode Island? Tough to pick one thing. It’s such an open-minded and accepting place–a great fit for me and my family. We love the outdoors here and having four distinct seasons. And of course the food scene is awesome here. What’s a hidden gem in Rhode Island? There are so many great walks here. Blackstone Boulevard, Swan Point Cemetery (my favorite–seriously!), the Avenue Concept mural walks in Providence, and the day hikes all over the state.
