Preference to sophomores. Sports medicine is the practice of clinical medicine at the interface between health and performance, competition and well-being. While sports medicine had its origins in providing care to athletes, medical advances developed in care of athletes exerted a great effect on the nature and quality of care to the broader community. Topics include sports injuries, medical conditions associated with sport and exercise, ethics, coaching, women's issues, fitness and health, and sports science. Case studies.

Open to medical, graduate and undergraduate students. Opportunity to enhance knowledge of anatomy as it pertains to the practice of Orthopaedic Surgery and to improve dissection skills. Follows the surgical anatomy syllabus used by the Stanford Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program. Sessions led by Stanford Orthopaedic Surgery attendings and residents. Didactic sessions, prosection review, dissection.

Students undertake investigations sponsored by individual faculty members. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.

Designed for medical students considering a primary care, orthopaedic, or physical medicine and rehabilitation elective or residency. Focused physical exam skills for common sports and musculoskeletal complaints: shoulder and upper arm; elbow and forearm; hand and wrist; pelivs, hip and thigh; knee; lower leg, foot, and ankle; cervical and thoracic spine; lumbar spine. Each session consists of presentation of a relevant case for that week's topic, interactive review of anatomy, and demonstration and practice of physical exam skills, culminating in an assessment and a plan for the case presented. 1 unit requires preparation for and participation in 5 sessions; 2 units requires preparation for and participation in 8 sessions.

Musculoskeletal and neuromuscular anatomy and physiology form the foundation of this multi-disciplinary course. Examines normal motor function and functional deficit from disease or injury. Clinical and scientific perspectives include orthopaedic surgery, neurology, mechanical engineering, computer science, anthropology, and art. Bioengineering challenges that assist or emulate human movement, such as design of an artificial joint or simulation of tendon transfer surgery for cerebral palsy are discussed. Evolution of upright walking and hand anatomy, as it became an instrument of purpose are discussed along with the expression of human movement throughout history in art masterpieces, photography, and animation. Student team projects. Lecture only for 3 units; project for 4 units.

Biological principles underlying the use of engineering strategies and biocompatible materials for tissue repair and regeneration. Structure, physiology, and mechanics of articular cartilage, bone, and dense soft connective tissues. Current ideas, approaches, and applications being implemented as therapeutic regimens for arthritis, spinal deformities, and limb salvage. Multidisciplinary constraints on the design and creation of tissue constructs. Prerequisite: familiarity with basic cell and molecular mechanisms underlying tissue differentiation.

Provides an observational experience in a surgical specialty. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
