| Join a world-renowned genetics department located at a top-10 medical school, and in one of the most beautiful and diverse areas of the country. Our program will utilize state-of-the-art genomics resources that are already well developed at Stanford, and train you to work with patients in a wide range of settings and from a multicultural background.
Stanford's curriculum is set up on the quarter system, and students will take 6 academic quarters of work, and conduct clinical rotations full-time through the summer between their first and second years. The course distribution will allow students to take 1-3 elective courses in an area of their choice, such as Spanish language training, cancer genetics, pediatrics, reproductive health issues, or biomedical ethics. | |
