'Mini Med School' highlights Stanford's Continuing Studies program for fall quarter
Stanford's Continuing Studies program serves up a new offering this fall: Stanford Mini Med School, featuring over 30 distinguished faculty, scientists and physicians from Stanford's School of Medicine. The course series will offer a dynamic introduction to the world of human biology, health and disease while looking at the groundbreaking changes taking place in medical research. The series begins with The Dynamics of Human Health and will continue in the winter and spring quarters. Philip Pizzo, dean of the School of Medicine, will direct the series.
Registration for this fall's Continuing Studies courses began Aug. 17. More than 100 courses, lectures, workshops and special programs are included in the fall lineup, covering the liberal arts and sciences, creative writing, and professional and personal development. Most courses begin the week of Sept. 21.
Other new courses this fall include Positive Psychology, U.S. Foreign Policy Challenges, The Iliad and The Ecosystem of Design. This fall also marks the return of the series Stanford Pioneers in Science, this time honoring Nobel laureate in economics William Sharpe and MacArthur Fellowship winner William Durham, a biological anthropologist.
Classes meet on campus in the evening, Monday through Thursday, from 7 to 8:50 p.m. Weekend workshops are also available. Stanford staff may use STAP funds for Continuing Studies tuition and registration fees.
