Applications for Education
The Stanford Mini Med School, like other open courses on the web, provide high school students and others with an opportunity to preview the type of content that they’ll need to know as they pursue higher education programs. Open courses also give students with an interest in a subject the opportunity to learn about that subject even if his or her school doesn’t offer a course that addresses his or her interest.
