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 torso and limbs, and their related causes, relevant anatomy, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention. The course divides the anatomy of the limbs and torso 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.

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

Introduction to human structure and function presented from a clinical perspective. Includes clinical scenarios, medical imaging techniques, and interventional procedures to illustrate the underlying anatomy. Course consists of lectures and dissection of the human body in the anatomy laboratory. Surgery 203 presents structures of the thorax, abdomen, pelvis, back, upper and lower limbs, and head & neck. Course opened to MD, MSM, and MSPA students only.

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.

Diagnosis, theory, and practice of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Limited to two students per faculty member.

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. For questions, please contact the course director, Cliff Sheckter at sheckter@stanford.edu

This 8-week elective course exposes health professional students (or other students interested in health careers) to fundamental cooking skills in the context of learning healthy behaviors in order to counsel patients effectively on nutrition and diet as future clinicians and also for bettering one's own health. The emphasis of this course is on the basic preparation of healthy and delicious whole foods and the applications of these basic culinary skills. This engaging course will be taught by Dr. Hauser, a dually trained chef/MD, with guest clinicians representing various specialties and nutrition science (PhD) faculty. No cooking experience is required. Instructor approval is required for registration. Priority registration is given to MD & PA students, but is open to other students interested in health careers (NOTE: this course was previously listed as FAMMED242 The Doctors is In (the Kitchen): Teaching Kitchen Elective for MD & PA Students)
