Clinical Anatomy Summer Program (CASP)

CASP is planned to introduce motivated high school students a multitude of anatomy topics. This is a great program for students who are considering higher education in medicine, bioengineering, and healthcare. 

CASP is returning back to in-person. Students are required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and will need to show proof of vaccination upon registration. 

All CASP students will be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Proof of vaccination will need to be shown before participation. Stanford's Division of Clinical Anatomy will be adhering to Stanford University's COVID-19 policies. As of March 2022, the University has made it optional for all faculty, staff, and students to wear masks indoors. These policies may change throughout the year, and updates will be sent out to future CASP students if any changes have been made. 

There is no separate application required to register for CASP. The registration form will ask students to fill out two short answer questions but has no influence on their registration or participation in CASP. 

The total cost of CASP is $3500. Upon registration, a $1000 non-refundable deposit must be made. Students must make their final tuition payment of $2500 by May 15th. Registration and deposit/tuition payment links can be found above. 

Students must be at least 15 years old upon the start of CASP. No prior coursework or experience is needed for CASP. 

CASP is not a residential program. Students will be responsible for daily transportation.

CASP will run from August 1st-5th, 2022. Students will be in lectures and activities from 9 AM to 3:30 PM. Before participation, students must have their final tuition payment made by May 30th. 

Students will primarily spend their time in the Division of Clinical Anatomy spaces housed in the Center for Clinical Sciences Research (CCSR) at Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto, California. These spaces include the anatomy and bioskills lab. 

Daily lunch will be provided for CASP students. Students are more than welcome to bring their own snacks and beverages to eat throughout the day. Eating is prohibited in the lab space.
