Biomedical Informatics for Stanford Medical Students
Scholarly Concentration
The Stanford medical curriculum provides medical training and an intellectual foundation to support future medical investigation through the required Scholarly Concentration. Stanford medical students interested in biomedical informatics can choose the Informatics and Data-Driven Medicine concentration, one of the Foundation areas. These students take several classes in this area, including BIOMEDIN 205, where leading researchers from Stanford and the Bay Area present overviews of their work.
Medical Scholars
Medical students who want a more in-depth research experience are invited to participate in the Medical Scholars research program. Examples of prior Med Scholars projects, including some focused on biomedical informatics, are here.
Postdoctoral Programs
Medical students can also apply for postdoctoral positions to start after they receive their MD, pursing either the MS or PhD degree.
