Medical Students

The Stanford Department of Radiology is dedicated to the education and mentorship of medical students while fostering early engagement with the fields of diagnostic and interventional radiology and biomedical imaging science. We are committed to strengthening the continuum from medical student to resident to fellow, with the goal of preparing the next generation of radiologists and imaging scientists. A commitment to inclusive excellence is central to our academic mission.


Message from the Director

As Director of Medical Student Education, I am honored to lead the management, innovation, and outreach of our educational programs within the Stanford Department of Radiology, while serving as a central point of contact for medical students across the continuum from pre-clinical to clinical training. We are deeply committed to mentoring and supporting learners at every stage, fostering a strong and inclusive pipeline into diagnostic and interventional radiology and biomedical imaging science. 

We are dedicated to expanding access and early exposure—from high school and undergraduate experiences through medical school, residency, and fellowship—while strengthening the continuum of training. Our outreach efforts are designed to engage learners early and broaden participation in the field.

We offer a wide range of clerkships and educational opportunities tailored to both foundational learning and advanced exploration. Our faculty are equally committed to supporting students pursuing careers in radiology and those entering other specialties, recognizing the essential role of imaging across all areas of medicine.
