+1 OOS Secondary MD/PhD
@wysdoc, below are the questions I have as an MD/PhD applicant--not too sure how many are applicable for MD only applicants. On the portal, 11-17 are part of the MSTP supplemental question, so I'm assuming the rest also apply to MD applicants?
1. Are there any current or pending disputes concerning your academic status? If yes, please explain. (300 characters)
2. Was your enrollment status ever interrupted during your undergraduate or graduate program, not including summer term (e.g. medical, personal, or academic reasons, military service, other)? If yes, please explain. (150 characters)
3. Are you a community college TRANSFER student? This designation specifically only refers to individuals that enrolled at a community college with the express purpose of transferring to a four year institution. This EXCLUDES courses taken at community college during high school, during interruptions in your undergraduate studies (from a four year institution), or post-undergraduate studies. If you completed community college coursework during the excluded periods indicated, do not answer yes to this question.
4. Has your education included any formal, pre-medical postbaccalaureate programs?
5. What do you see as the most likely practice scenario for your future medical career? Choose the single answer that best describes your career goals and clinical practice setting: Academic Medicine (Clinical); Academic Medicine (Physician Scientist); Health Policy; Primary Care; Public Health/Community Health; Global Health. Please describe your motivation for this practice scenario: Why do you feel you are particularly suited for this practice scenario? What knowledge, skills and attitudes have you developed that have prepared you for this career path? (1000 characters)
6. How will you take advantage of the Stanford Medicine Discovery Curriculum and scholarly concentration requirement to achieve your personal career goals? (1000 characters)
7. Describe in a short paragraph your educational and family background. E.g., I grew up in New York City, as the 3rd child of a supermarket cashier and a high school principal. I attended Mann High School where my major interests were boxing and drama. (600 characters)
8. Are you a re-applicant to the Stanford Medicine MD Program? What experiences illuminate the most significant difference between the prior and current application? (Research, Community/Volunteer Services, Paid Employment, Awards/Honors) (350 characters)
