Family Medicine

Nailah Tucker is a proud native of Arlington, Texas and earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Tougaloo College in Jackson, MS in 2019. Following graduation, Tucker matriculated into Warren Alpert medical school at Brown University to fulfill a goal of becoming a physician. 

During time at Tougaloo, Tucker discovered a deep passion for addressing health disparities, advancing women’s health, and supporting underrepresented minorities in medicine. That commitment continued into medical school, serving as a Rhode Island Medical Navigator, co-founding Doulas@Tougaloo, and earning selection as a Hassenfeld Child Health Innovation Institute Scholar. These experiences further strengthened a passion for family medicine and community-centered care.

Tucker Brown because Rhode Island and the Brown community has truly become home. Tucker is passionate about making a lasting positive change in RI while working alongside like-minded individuals. Also is thrilled to continue this journey as a Family Medicine resident in Pawtucket while working toward goal of becoming a full-spectrum family medicine physician committed to delivering comprehensive, compassionate care.

Outside of medicine, Tucker is a mother to a spunky two-year old and is very excited for her son and fiancé to now be joining her in the beautiful ocean state. While Texas will always be home, Tucker learned that life simply would not be complete without daily Dunkin’.  Tucker is incredibly excited to begin this next chapter, growing both personally and professionally while training alongside such a passionate and inspiring group of physicians.
