STARS Program

The Choosing Wisely STARS (Students and Trainees Advocating for Resource Stewardship) aims to educate students on the critical importance of value-based care, in hopes of increasing grassroots student advocacy on their own campuses and peer-to-peer education.

UC San Diego is proud to select four first-year students each fall quarter to represent our campus nationally at the Choosing Wisely STARS Conference, meetings, and beyond.

These students participate in mentoring and discussions on how to advance patient care with physicians and medical students across the country, as well as lead the Value-Based Medicine SIG on campus.

Yearly Applications open in October for the following year.
