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 surgical anatomy of the hand is extremely complex in terms of structure and function. Exploration of the anatomy of the hand in different contexts: its representation in art forms, the historical development of the study of hand anatomy, current operative techniques for reconstruction, advances in tissue engineering, and the future of hand transplantation.

This undergraduate course is designed to teach human anatomy through cadaver specimens, radiographs, CT scans and MRIs with emphasis on the understanding of common sports injuries of the head and neck, and their related causes, relevant anatomy, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention. The course divides the anatomy of the head and neck into five areas; each area will be presented in a two-week block. Students will develop an understanding of human anatomy through the identification of relevant structures on cadaver specimens and on apps such as Complete Anatomy and the 3D Anatomy Table, then utilizing this knowledge, in the interpretation of radiographs, CT scans and MRIs. Group projects and presentations focus on the understanding of the anatomy and treatment of these injuries, while aiding students in developing basic rhetorical skills and comfort in sharing their projects with the class. The class is limited to 20 students.

Enrollment limited to seniors and graduate students. Students should complete this Qualtrics survey ( https://stanforduniversity.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5vfmxsmzMvojkzA) to enable the course directors to allocate places on the course. This course comprises two parts, lecture and lab, both of which are required and both of which are taught in-person this year. Lectures and labs will include a regional approach to the study of human anatomy of the trunk and limbs. Lab sessions will include working in teams to complete dissection of an embalmed cadaver. Excludes the head & neck.

AIMS has been created as a supplemental resource for student-athletes who have an interest in pursuing a career in medicine. The goal of the class is to foster an intimate community of current and former Stanford student-athletes in nmedicine providing resources and guidance to allow individuals a chance to thrive in this challenging and rewarding field. This will be a credit/no credit seminar with a focus on exploring topics such as medical school applications, nplacement tests, research, and careers in medicine.

Investigations sponsored by individual faculty members. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.

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 Scholarly Concentration. 14 students can be accommodated each quarter. Indicate your interest in the course here: https://forms.gle/2CAz4YyC6hwmdUgY9. If selected for the course, you will be emailed a code that will allow you to register for the course on https://explorecourses.stanford.edu. All questions may be directed to Dr. Connie Gan at cgan@stanford.edu. Confirmation of enrollment: If selected, students will be sent an enrollment code a week before classes start. Input the enrollment code when prompted on AXESS.

This course will expose first and second year medical students to the Regional Burn Center at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (SCVMC). The course will focus on the multidisciplinary collaboration required to deliver high-quality burn care and the paramount goal of delivering high-equity care to all populations including the indigent populations of the San Francisco Bay Area. While much of the preclinical years are focused on didactic and physiology, this course will be patient facing and integrate themes of applied clinical care and health equity. During the weekly seminar, students will 1) interview a burn survivor in clinic, 2) round in the Burn ICU, and 3) discuss a selected reading. Reading topics will include critical care for burn patients, acute surgical/wound care, multidisciplinary burn care, rehabilitative burn care, scar reconstruction, burn prevention, health systems design for burn care, and health equity disparities in burn care. The course includes open discussion sessions to allow opportunities for reflection and discourse with the challenges presented in Burn Care. Importantly this class will focus on the Regional Burn Center as a public health prevention organization and healthcare delivery entity for the entire San Francisco Bay Area. This includes a focus on what distinguishes safety-net hospitals from non-profit and for-profit hospitals. The course is offered during autumn, winter and spring quarters. It may be taken throughout the entire academic year as a longitudinal experience if the student wishes to fully immerse in the world of burn care and engage in Burn Center quality improvement, public health initiatives, and/or research. In particular, students who enroll in multiple quarters will get exposure to acute and reconstructive burn surgery in the operating room. This seminar is ideal for students interested in future careers in public health, plastic surgery, general surgery, and health policy research. Students must secure their own transportation to travel 18 miles south of the Stanford campus to the Burn Center. Parking is free. Non-medical students interested in the course should contact the instructor and will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Students taking this course for 2 units will be required to produce a deliverable (one-page reflection or brief slide deck) on their topic of choice at the conclusion of the course.
