Medical Scholars Research Program

Since 1980, Stanford Medical Scholars Research (MedScholars) fellowships has supported medical student research, including Scholarly Concentration projects. With MedScholars funding, students can carry out research in an academic setting under the direction of faculty members in the medical school, hospital and clinics, and throughout the university. The programs are designed to foster an appreciation for and proficiency in investigative and scholarly pursuits, including study design, hands-on collection of data, interpretation of results, and presentation of work accomplished in oral and written form. Research projects may be based in a variety of settings including the laboratory, field, clinic, or community.
