STRAMGT 321: Create a New Venture: From Idea to Launch I
S321/S322 is an integrated lab course in Entrepreneurship designed to teach students the process of creating a new viable venture - from Idea to Launch. It is a dynamic and interactive course organized around projects undertaken by teams of 3 to 4 registered students from the MSx and MBA programs, together with other graduate students from within Stanford who bring expertise of particular relevance to the idea being pursued, e.g. engineering, CS or medicine. This course is designed not only for students with immediate entrepreneurial aspirations but also for any student considering starting an entrepreneurial venture at some point in his or her career. The course is a two-quarter class, with admission to the class by team and idea. In the winter quarter, teams will research, craft, test and morph their idea into a viable business concept. In the spring quarter, they will further test, refine their concept and develop a strategy and plan to attract financial, human and other resources. At the end of the spring quarter, teams will present their plan to a panel of experts and potential investors to simulate the funding process. The course builds on important research, successes, and findings as they relate to the process of new venture creation. The teaching method is through a structured process of relevant mini-lectures, exercises and active in-depth team learning by doing (LBD). Extensive field research and prototype product development are integral to the course. Learning is further enhanced through meetings with the instructor, coaching by their assigned experienced mentors, experts, and review by peers. Informal student meetings/mixers will be held in the autumn quarter to further facilitate the formation of teams and assist in idea generation. The application process for S321/322,-Create A New Venture: from Idea to Launch- is described on the course website.

STS 1: Introduction to Science, Technology & Society
The course introduces students to critical perspectives on the history, social context, epistemology, and ethics of science, technology, and medicine. The goal of the course is to learn about major concepts and methods from science & technology studies, introduced in the context of real-world issues.
STS 1 is the required gateway course for the major in Science, Technology & Society, but is open to students from all departments and disciplines. A final paper will be required. There will be no final exam.

STS 51D: Ethical STEM: Race, Justice, and Embodied Practice (AFRICAAM 151, ARTSINST 151C, CSRE 151C, ETHICSOC 151C, SYMSYS 151D, TAPS 151D)
What role do science and technology play in the creation of a just society? How do we confront and redress the impact of racism and bias within the history, theory, and practice of these disciplines? This course invites students to grapple with the complex intersections between race, inequality, justice, and the STEM fields. We orient to these questions from an artistically-informed position, asking how we can rally the embodied practices of artists to address how we think, make, and respond to each other. Combining readings from the history of science, technology, and medicine, ethics and pedagogy, as well as the fine and performing arts, we will embark together on understanding how our STEM practices have emerged, how we participate today, and what we can imagine for them in the future. The course will involve workshops, field trips (as possible), and invited guests. All students, from any discipline, field, interest, and background, are welcome! This course does build upon the
STS 51 series from 2020-21, though it is not a prerequisite for this course. Please contact the professor if you have any questions!

STS 200U: The Age of Plague: Medicine and Society, 1300-1750 (HISTORY 234P)
(Undergraduates, enroll in 234P. Graduates, enroll in 334P) The arrival of plague in Eurasia in 1347-51 affected many late medieval and early modern societies. It transformed their understanding of disease, raised questions about the efficacy of medical knowledge, and inspired new notions of public health. This class explores the history of medicine in the medieval Islamic and European worlds. Changing ideas about the body, the roles of different healers and religion in healing, the growth of hospitals and universities, and the evolution of medical theory and practice will be discussed. How did medicine and society change in the age of plague?

SURG 52Q: Becoming whatever you want to be: lessons learned from a stem cell
Sophomore Preference. Stem cells are extreme: they are the most powerful cells in the body and yet they are unimaginably scarce; they exist in nearly every tissue but actually locating them is enormously challenging. Stem cells have the potential to transform the practice of medicine, while at the same time their potential application to human disease continues to spark political debates around the world. In this class, students will discuss the medical hype and hope that surrounds stem cells, socio-political implications surrounding their research, and general concerns with inequitable access to healthcare. While topics like tissue healing and regeneration will focus on the human body, participation from students whose fields of interest fall well outside human biology is welcome. Engineers, artists, historians, writers, economists--all will find intersections between the course subject matter and their own interests. Class sessions will be largely in-person however virtual access will be made available for students upon request on a case by case basis and primarily for medical needs.

The course will be given over an eight-week period. In the first week, students will research potential sports injuries and decide on a specific sports injury to study. The second class will focus on each student or group developing a presentation outline and receive approval by faculty. In sessions three through six, under faculty supervision, students will research and prepare their presentations, which will be presented to the entire class during weeks seven and eight. Sufficient time will be allotted for thorough discussion after each presentation. The class is limited to 16 students.The class meets on Mondays from 12:30PM to 2:20 PM in CCSR 0235.

SURG 205: Technical Training and Preparation for the Surgical Environment
This course is designed for preclinical students in the School of Medicine interested in acquiring the technical skills and clinical orientation necessary to learn and participate in the surgical environment. Students will begin with scrub training to learn sterile technique prior to participation in the operating room followed by basic surgical techniques (including knot tying, suturing, hand-sewn bowel anastomoses, vascular skills and laparoscopic skills) to enhance their operating room experiences. In addition, the course will expose students to life as a surgeon. The class requires one to two mandatory operative shadowing experiences with an attending surgeon outside of normal class hours. Opportunities for one-on-one surgical faculty membership will be provided. This course will be held in person. Entry into the course: Second year students (MD, MS2) will get priority, especially those who could not enroll in the course last year and those that plan on declaring a Surgery Scholarl
