In order to keep Stanford as healthy and safe as possible for in-person learning and activities, students are expected to follow all university public health requirements at all times and stay updated by regularly checking the COVID guidance webpage for any updates. Please note that requirements for Stanford students are not necessarily the same as summer program participants visiting the campus.

Our best current understanding at this moment in time (February 2023) is that no exceptions to the policy will be allowed.

Please note that policies for the School of Medicine may differ from those of the regular University summer session due to the proximity to the medical center campus.

• The program will be held on the following dates:
• Session 1: June 26^th-July 7^th, 2023 (on campus*)
• Session 2: July 31^th-Aug 11^th, 2023 (virtual)
  
• Advanced Clinical Skills Internship: July 17^th-21^st, 2023 (on campus)

The hours of the program are 8AM-1PM or 12PM-5PM (in person). The virtual program runs 8AM-1PM PST. These times are subject to change.

Decision notices will be sent depending upon when you send in your application. Look for information by email.

We accept applications through Slideroom. To apply visit our application portal.

To make it easy for your teacher to submit a recommendation, they simply need to fill out a quick form to recommend you for the program. You will send the request for recommendations through the Slideroom application system.

For online sessions no food will be provided. For sessions on campus, we will provide lunch.* pending approval from Stanford ReSTART committee.

Tuition assistance applications will be considered for the Standard Decision application only.

Definitely! Our international students help provide a different perspective that enriches the experience of all of our students. In the past we have had students from around the world join us, including the UK, Canada, Indonesia, Italy, Turkey, China, Sri Lanka and Brazil. 

We recommend that you have taken science classes in high school but there are no specific class requirements to apply to the program.

The program does plan to offer on-campus housing. Please check back later in 2023 for housing information once acceptances have been offered.

The program staff can also provide out of area students with a list of off-campus options that students have chosen in the past.

Stanford University requires out-of-town students under the age of 18 to provide their local address as well as the contact information of their local parent/guardian for the duration of the program.

Tuition Payments
Tuition payment is due in full by deadlines indicated on our website.

Deposit Payments
Deposit payment is due two week after notification of acceptance into our program. Program deposits are non-refundable.

Tuition Refund Policy
Our Stanford Anesthesia Summer Institute aims to create a transparent and fair policy for refunds. Because students enroll in our program based on our offers of admission, it is often difficult or impossible to find qualified students to take over for a student who later chooses to withdraw from the program prior to matriculation. For these reasons, we are unable to offer refunds unless we are able to find another qualified student to matriculate in your place. For these reasons, please make sure that you are able to attend our summer program before making your enrollment decision. If you enroll and later find you cannot attend our program and would like to request a refund, we ask that you first send us a letter forfeiting your place in our program. At that point, we will do our best to find a replacement for your spot. If we are able to find a replacement student, we will refund your tuition less an administrative fee (fee is equal to 50% tuition if we receive your request before May 15 and 75% of tuition if we receive your request between May 16 -June 1). We cannot offer any refunds after June 1.

Refunds requests must be made formally via email to summermed@stanford.edu. Please allow 2-3 business days for the review of your request. No refund request will be accepted after June 1. No refund or discount will be given for early departures once the program has begun.
