Classroom Learning
A large number of Stanford introductory seminars are open to freshmen and sophomores. Upper-division courses can be found in the School of Medicine's section of the University Bulletin.
Hands-On Research
One of the most unique and important aspects of the undergraduate offerings at the School Medicine is the opportunity to take part in world-class biomedical research.
Students should contact individual faculty directly to discuss their areas of interest. Interested students are encouraged to contact the Undergraduate Research Program for details on the resources available through the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education.
