-
We are not an academic department, that is, we do not offer a degree in Biodesign. For degree programs see the Biomechanical Engineering division of Mechanical Engineering Department or the Bioengineering Department.
We do offer a one-year fellowship to study the Biodesign process. Read more about that on our fellowship pages.

-
Complete instructions are available on our fellowship pages. See our Stanford-India pages for information about that fellowship and our Singapore-Stanford Biodesign page for information about that fellowship.
- How much support does a fellow receive?
-
Fellows receive a monthly stipend which is equivalent to the stipend of a fellowship in Medical School. In addition, insurance, tuition and travel reimbursements are paid.
- Do you accept international students in the fellowship?
