2024

Student Art & Research Symposium 

April 10, 2024 | 6:30 pm PT

We are proud to announce this year’s annual Medicine & the Muse Student Symposium, a celebration of the many artistic, literary, musical and other creative scholarly talents at the Stanford School of Medicine.

This year, we are incredibly excited to be able to hold the symposium at the Bing Concert Hall, where we will feature the Stanford School of Medicine Orchestra. The theme, inspired by the orchestra, is “Pulling at Heartstrings”. 

The symposium will be composed of 3 parts: a gallery show in the Bing lobby with art and project findings, a live performance segment and last but not least, a performance by our very own orchestra. 

For art and music-appreciators, entry to the event is free for all Stanford students if you show your ID at the door!
