Medical Scholars
The Beckman Center supports Stanford's Medical Scholars Fund in order to create a continuing source of funds for medical students doing translational biomedical research under the direction of faculty mentors. This support is critical to the success of our goal of ensuring that the results of applied clinical science are made broadly available for clinical use and practical application.
Departments with students engaged in projects relevant to our mission are encouraged to apply to the Medical Scholars program. Applications are reviewed on a quarterly basis by a committee of faculty scientists.
At the completion of the project, students are required to make an oral presentation of the results to an audience consisting of the faculty advisory board and others with expertise in the field. Students must also prepare a written summary of the project results.
