Stanford Immersion in Medicine Series (SIMS)

What is SIMS?

The Stanford Immersion in Medicine Series (SIMS) provides undergraduates who are interested in pursuing medicine with an opportunity to shadow physicians at Stanford Hospital, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, and the Palo Alto VA Hospital. Each quarter, SIMS participants will be paired with a physician mentor and learn from a breadth of experiences including, but not limited to, shadowing in clinics and on rounds, observing in the operating room, attending departmental Grand Rounds lectures, or having coffee with their mentor. Over the course of the quarter, students will hopefully establish a meaningful and long-lasting relationship with their physician mentors which can often play an influential role in an individual's decision to pursue medicine.

SIMS is advised by the School of Medicine and coordinated by the Stanford Pre-medical Association and Undergraduate Advising and Research.
