What Should I do If I’m interested in Medical School?

If you’re looking into Medical School before New Student Orientation (NSO), you should consider attending the “Choosing Courses for Pre-Med” Academic Planning Session on Wednesday of NSO. This session will provide details on course selection and other things to consider if you are interested in a career in health-related fields.

After NSO

If you’re looking at this after NSO, you may want to join the UAR pre-med listserv to learn about many opportunities and resources for students interested in health professions. You may also want to join the Stanford Pre-Medical Association. Your Academic  Advising Director is also available to discuss course selection and other opportunities with you.

Additional Opportunities to engage in during your time at Stanford

• Undergraduate Research
• Public Service 
• The SIMS shadowing program
• A health-focused overseas seminar in Oaxaca
• The Winter Quarter Bing Stanford in Washington-Health Care program 

You may also want to consider visiting a UAR Pre-med Advisor in Sweet Hall who specializes in advising students interested in the health professions. Many students find it most helpful to meet with a Pre-med Advisor starting in Sophomore year.
