Stanford Medicine Offers Courses with Free Certificate & CME Credit
Stanford Medicine offers a wide range of online learning opportunities in the medical field—spanning from podcasts to full-fledged courses—all available for free and many with certificates of completion.
Learners also receive access to a formal Stanford transcript documenting the training they’ve completed. For healthcare professionals, these programs carry even more value, as many qualify for Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit.
Here are some of Stanford’s free certificate offerings:

- Webinars: A collection of on-demand webinars led by Stanford experts across different medical specialties. Examples include sessions from the Pediatric Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Lecture Series on Fatigue and Underperformance in Sport, and a Cardiology Grand Rounds webinar on Stress CMR Imaging of Chest Pain Syndromes.
