SCORE Program


  • About the Stanford Department of Emergency Medicine SCORE Program

    SCORE recognizes that Stanford Medicine’s ideal of true community engagement is unlikely to occur without a workforce that is diverse in many ways.

    In partnership with the Office of Medical Student Affairs, we are providing an exceptional opportunity for visiting medical students to participate in the Stanford Clinical Opportunity for Residency Experience (SCORE) Program. Students from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

  • SCORE recipients will receive a $2,000 stipend at the beginning of the rotation and housing throughout their month-long EMED 313A rotation in the Emergency Department.
  • In addition to regular didactics, teaching sessions and clinical shifts, the students will be mentored throughout their month-long experience. We will also offer them their residency interview during this month.
  • Please refer to the Stanford University School of Medicine SCORE website for more general details about the program.

About the Emergency Medicine Advanced Clerkship - EMED313A

During this 4-week, multi-site selective, medical students will develop critical skills in the rapid evaluation and management of undifferentiated and acutely ill patients in two unique emergency department settings: Stanford Hospital Center (SHC) and the Kaiser Santa Clara Medical Center (KSCMC).

At each of these sites, rotators will work directly with an emergency medicine attending. With this high level of mentorship and guidance, learners will gain confidence assessing and resuscitating the incredible spectrum of patients presenting at each of the clinical sites.

Students are responsible for their own transportation to commute to the Kaiser Santa Clara location.
