SOMGEN 130: Sexual Diversity and Function Across Medical Disciplines

Focus is on development of personal and professional skills to interact with people across the diverse range of human sexuality, from childhood (pediatric) to older ages (geriatric), with consideration of gender identity, sexual orientation, sociocultural (predominantly U.S., not global) and religious values, and selected medical issues (e.g. hormonal therapy, disabilities, e.g. spinal cord injury, etc. with discussion of sexual taboos and unusual sexual practices that you might encounter in a general medical setting. For the 4th unit, students must also attend INDE 215 Queer Health and Medicine and complete the additional assignments for that section but do not enroll in that course.

SOMGEN 150Q: Challenging Sex and Gender Dichotomies in Biology and Medicine (FEMGEN 150Q)

This course explores and challenges the physiological basis for distinguishing human "males" and "females", expands the concepts of "intersex" beyond reproductive anatomy/physiology (i.e. beyond the genitalia), and discusses some known consequences of "gender biases" in medical diagnoses and treatments. The influence of gender (sociocultural) "norms", i.e. gendered behaviors and relations, on human biology is juxtaposed with the role of biological traits on the construction of gender identity, roles and relationships, thereby focusing on the interactions of sex and gender on health and medical outcomes. Problems that may arise by labeling conditions that vary in incidence, prevalence and/or severity across the "male-female" spectrum as "men's" or "women's" health issues will be discussed. In addition, the importance of recognizing the spectrum of sex and gender, as well as sexual orientation, in clinical practice from pediatric to geriatric populations, will be highlighted, with consideration of varying perspectives within different race/ethnic, religious, political, and other groups.

SOMGEN 206: Global Medical Issues Affecting Women (FEMGEN 206)

This course probes the principal issues affecting women and girls medically around the world. Through interactive discussions, guest lectures, case studies, and academic readings, students become acquainted with the most critical challenges to women's health globally, and use selected analytical tools to assess how these may be addressed efficiently, cost-effectively, and sustainably. Topics include women's cancer, birth control, infertility, female genital mutilation, midwifery, obstetric fistula, breastfeeding, violence against women, and women's representation in biomedical research. The aim is to cultivate in students a nuanced appreciation of women's unique needs, roles, and challenges in the contemporary global health landscape. S/NC or +/-.

SOMGEN 207: Theories of Change in Global Health (INTLPOL 291, PUBLPOL 291)

Organizations dedicated to improving global health deploy various approaches ranging from efforts to improve economic conditions, health systems, and technology to policy change and advocacy. This course critically evaluates 15 common theories of change that underlay global health interventions. Students will review and discuss examples of both success and failure of each theory of change drawn from various disciplines. This seminar is appropriate for graduate students of any discipline who are interested in considering the range of approaches and their likely utility when considering a specific global health problem in a particular location. Upper-class undergraduates who have completed rigorous related coursework and who are willing to commit the preparatory time are welcome. Our discussions benefit greatly from diverse perspectives. Sign up for 3 unit credits to participate in the seminar or 4 units to participate in the seminar and complete a project that provides an opportunity to apply these ideas to a global health problem of your interest.

SOMGEN 213: The Art of Observation: Enhancing Clinical Skills Through Visual Analysis

Offers medical students the opportunity to enhance their observational and descriptive abilities by analyzing works of art in the Stanford museums. Working with the Cantor Arts Center staff and Stanford Art History PhD candidates, students spend time in each session actively looking at and describing works in the gallery. Discussion with medical school faculty follows, providing a clinical correlate to the gallery session. Classes interrogate a different theme of medical observation and clinical practice and includes opportunities for an applied clinical session in the hospital with course-affiliated physicians.

SOMGEN 214: Intro to Specialty Career Selection: Exploring Residency Specialty Selection with Career Advisors

Are you intimidated by the number of specialty choices out there? Do you want to feel more confident when answering the dreaded question, "What kind of doctor do you want to be?" The School of Medicine Center for Specialty Career Advising is offering a 2-quarter seminar series highlighting the different specialty career choices offered for your residency training. We recognize that undergraduates and medical students may have a general idea of what field of medicine they might be interested in pursuing, but often aren't exposed to the vast number of choices until later in their clinical years. This series will feature 20 different and popular specialties. Each week, we will highlight a different specialty through a seminar led by the Specialty Career Advisor (SCA) in that field of medicine. Each SCA is carefully selected as an expert and mentor in that field and will provide you with an overview of what to expect should you choose that specialty. Each overview will also provide a next steps framework to learn more about the field with ample time for Q&A. There is no better time to start exploring than now! This series is a Pass-Fail attendance only course.

SOMGEN 219B: Advances in Medical Education

This seminar is intended for students who are interested in a career in health professions education. Completion of 'Introduction to Medical Education' ( SOMGEN219, Winter Q) is recommended but not required. We will use didactic and small group instruction to examine several advanced topics in medical education: individualized learning, competency-based assessment, coaching in medical education, applied learning theory, disseminating educational scholarship, and the creation of digital learning resources. We hope that this course will inspire students to enter academic careers that include teaching as a central tenet of their life's work.

SOMGEN 224: Physical Listening (DANCE 224)

Do you want to deepen your communication skills with patients and colleagues? Are you planning or pursuing a career in healthcare? If so, Physical Listening is the course for you. Non-verbal behaviors and physical presence play a critical role in masterful interpersonal communication. How our bodies move - the energy we project, the force and speed of our movements - informs how we perceive and communicate. The Stanford School of Medicine and Medical Humanities program invites you to join this interdisciplinary course harnessing core competencies at the intersection of medicine and dance, designed to finesse clinically relevant communication skills through creative inquiry. Through this course, learners will: Explore the concept of "physical embodiment" through interactive exercises, video viewings, clinical cases, and lively discussion; sharpen skills of kinesthetic awareness, spatial perception, and critical movement analysis; improve their ability to read and employ non-verbal, phys more »
