Feature Stories
Alumni Uncorked
Some things just go together. Grilled salmon with Pinot noir. As countless members of the Stanford University School of Medicine community will tell you, the same can be said of a passion for medicine and an appreciation for wine.
Med Scholar Delivers the Gift of Time
It’s 5 a.m. and I’m sitting in a hotel room in Hong Kong, looking for the next great life science startup. How I ended up here is really a story about why I believe the Med Scholars program is so vital to the Stanford Medical student experience.
The Art of Patience
A career in medicine offers one reward that trumps many others: The knowledge that, whether clinician, researcher, or academic, there’s a clear path to getting things done. Not so clear a path for Stanford University School of Medicine alumni who add public service to their resume.
