Policies and Standards
Students participating in Stanford's MD program are subject to policies and standards established by both Stanford University and the School of Medicine. Each academic year Educational Programs and Services (EPS) at the School of Medicine compiles these policies into one document for use by students, faculty, and administrators: the MD Program Handbook: Procedures, Policies and Essential Information.
