MED 252: Outcomes Analysis (BIOMEDIN 251, HRP 252)
This course introduces and develops methods for conducting empirical research that address clinical and policy questions that are not suitable for randomized trials. Conceptual and applied models of causal inference guide the design of empirical research. Econometric and statistical models are used to conduct health outcomes research which use large existing medical, survey, and other databases Problem sets emphasize hands-on data analysis and application of methods, including re-analyses of well-known studies. This is a project-based course designed for students pursuing research training. Prerequisites: one or more courses in probability, and statistics or biostatistics.

MED 253: Building for Digital Health (CS 342)
This project-based course will provide a comprehensive overview of key requirements in the design and full-stack implementation of a digital health research application. Several pre-vetted and approved projects from the Stanford School of Medicine will be available for students to select from and build. Student teams learn about all necessary approval processes to deploy a digital health solution (data privacy clearance/I RB approval, etc.) and be guided in the development of front-end and back-end infrastructure using best practices. The final project will be the presentation and deployment of a fully approved digital health research application.

MED 254: IM Bedside Clinical Reasoning and Physical Diagnosis Rounds
The aim of this elective is to provide MD and PA students hands-on exposure to the unique nature of the physical exam in hospitalized patients. In small groups led by a faculty facilitator, students will be introduced to 1-2 hospitalized patients at SHC with interesting diagnostic findings. Students will examine patients at the bedside with a faculty facilitator, acquiring practice in physical exam skills and honing advanced maneuvers. Students will then discuss exam findings in the context of the patient¿s clinical presentation, bridging concepts across clinical reasoning, practicum, and pathophysiology. Emphasis is placed on understanding the cause of the finding and learning critical judgment and exam skills for various organ systems.
