What is Stanford High School Summer College?
It's Not a Camp or a Casual Summer Activity
Stanford’s Summer College is a college program for high school students. The university has offered bright, motivated high school students the opportunity to enroll in college-level courses since the late 1960s. The High School Summer College office works hard to ensure that all the students we admit are ready to handle the challenges of the program, both socially and academically.
It's a College Experience
The experience starts with the application process, which mirrors the Common Application used by many college admissions offices. We require that students complete their own application online. Parent and guardian contact details are provided as part of the application, and our office strives to keep our parent and guardian population up-to-date with a parallel online checklist and copies of critical email messages. We cannot stress enough the importance of reading emails regarding attendance in our program. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to add summercollege@stanford.edu to email address books to avoid missing important updates.

What is It?
Decision Medicine is a 2-week program that introduces students to the field of medicine through personal mentoring opportunities and site visits with behind-the-scenes access to many diverse clinical settings including several regional hospitals, surgery centers and community clinics. DM was created by the San Joaquin Medical Society to encourage high achieving, underprivileged and under-represented students, who would not otherwise have these opportunities, to consider a career in medicine and eventually come back to serve our community.
During the program, students will be exposed to a day in the life of a physician by through various activities such as doing rounding with Residents at San Joaquin General Hospital, getting CPR certified at St. Joseph’s Medical Center and typing their own blood at Dameron Hospital. They will visit Gleason House and St. Mary’s Dining Hall to teach them about the outreach to the homeless that is taking place in our county. Each student also receives a one-on-one mentoring opportunity with a local member physician in their practice.
Where is It?
Decision Medicine will take place in Stockton at various locations, including local hospitals, various clinics and physician offices learning firsthand what it takes to become a physician.
