Careers
At Stanford Biodesign, we whole-heartedly believe that health technology is an exciting, important field, and that innovators working in the space have the power to reinvent the future of healthcare.
Accordingly, we are enthusiastic about helping individuals launch or accelerate careers in health technology innovation.
Whether you are a Stanford Biodesigner, a Stanford student, or a member of the community at-large, we offer unique events, opportunities, and support to help you on your path.
Stanford Biodesigners
Each year, trainees in our fellowship programs receive in personalized, one-on-one career coaching, as well as introductions to our vast network on health technology contacts.
Students who take our courses have the opportunity to submit their resumes to the annual Stanford Biodesign resume book, which is shared with the many health technology companies who support the Stanford Biodesign program. We also provide it to start-ups in the Stanford Biodesign alumni network. Human resources contacts within these organizations are specifically interested in identifying interns and new hires that have completed courses and training program with Stanford Biodesign. We also are piloting a new internship matching program called Biodesign Internship Connect. Students affiliated with the Stanford Students in Biodesign and Biopharma club are encouraged to learn more.
