Throughout the past year, Stanford’s School of Medicine and Stanford Continuing Studies (my day job) teamed up to offer The Stanford Mini Med School. Featuring more than thirty distinguished faculty, scientists, and physicians, this yearlong series of courses (three in total) offered students a dynamic introduction to the world of human biology, health and disease, and the groundbreaking changes taking place in medical research and health care. Now you can watch these lectures for free. The fall and winter lectures (20 lectures in total) are completely available online. And the spring lectures are getting rolled out starting this week. You can access the full lectures series in multiple formats below:
Fall 2009, The Dynamics of Human Health - iTunes – YouTube - Web Site
Winter 2009, Human Health and the Frontiers of Science - iTunes –YouTube - Web Site
Spring 2010, Transforming Our Understanding of Human Health and Disease - iTunes - Web Site
The entire series also appears in our collection of Free Online Courses.
Educational Applications:
Yes, the lectures are in English and very dynamic in the presentations. These lectures series would be idea for Thai 3rd year and 4th year students to review. The main reason not to have the first and second year students to review would be they need to adapt to the rate of speech the presenters use. I know they can replay what they did not catch the first time but the English medical terminology and vocabulary used is at medical student / intern level. I really enjoyed the series and will post the on the medical resources site and this blogs sidebar.
