45. The Patient Care Experience “I could access anyone from whom I wanted to learn something.” “You feel well prepared to participate and handle patients of all types.” “I felt very active in patient care, especially underserved patients” “The clinical rotations in 15 months provided me a lot of flexibility” “I felt I got all the support I needed to excel.” “[Stanford’s] curriculum develops your mastery of patient care skills and transitions you quickly into actual care.” “There was a lot of variety: from breakthrough drugs for leukemia to seeing the uninsured” Michael Galvez, Medical Student
64. Alumni Perspective “Stanford is ahead of thought leadership on health system reform and medical education” “I absolutely recommend Stanford for medical school. It builds confidence and courage you need as a physician.” “The school really supports an intellectually and personally fulfilling life.” “Stanford takes good care of people who have goals but also want a whole life, and explore opportunities in other departments.” Linda Hawes Clever M.D. Clinical Professor, UCSF Internal and Occupational Medicine Author, “The Fatigue Prescription” “What’s quite unique (compared to other schools) is the close relationship between faculty and students. Students feel respected and valued.”
