The CARE Scholars Program is a 1-year virtual immersive research program focused on training the next generation of leaders in Asian health research, anchored by a 9-week summer research immersion in data science for vulnerable populations. This exceptional online program leverages the unique aspects of Stanford’s world-class research, technology, and medical infrastructure to train Scholars to become superb population science researchers.

By the end of the program, Scholars will utilize tools to conduct large database analysis, understand core concepts in health care research, and identify problems/solutions in vulnerable populations. In addition, Scholars will effectively engage with technologists, entrepreneurs, non-profits, and population science researchers.
 

The program starts in Spring Quarter with a weekly seminar series and course pre-requisites. Summer Quarter is a full time 9-week research intensive with a Summer Research Symposium capstone. Student work in teams on 2 data science projects mentored by Stanford program faculty and CARE Team Science Fellows, with the expectation of submission for publication within one year. Fall and Winter Quarters are part time and focus on career development, conference presentations and manuscript preparation with a Winter Research Symposium capstone. This program runs concurrently with students' primary academic responsibilities at their home institutions.

Scholars will learn with Stanford faculty and visiting faculty in ongoing seminars around: Asian health, medical technology, AI, medical research, vulnerable populations, global health, essentials of research, innovation and leadership, scholarship and presentation, and career goals.

We promote student career development and professional success. We place extra emphasis on mentorship, wellness, and personal career development to ensure that our students have a fulfilling experience that prepares them for careers as Scholars in medicine, population health, and data science research. Our students will build connections with Stanford CARE's global network of thought leaders and professionals, and with each other.
