The spring issue of the medical center's magazine Stanford Medicine is now available.

This issue's cover story, on the new rules regulating medical residents' work hours, describes their impact here and airs resident and faculty opinions on the changes.

Other articles cover robots carrying out surgeries; Stanford's success at creating a diverse medical student body and faculty -- and its remaining challenges; a student-initiated research project revealing a cure for brain damage that's probably in your medicine cabinet; a new column, called "Ask the Bioethicist," answering a question about physician-assisted suicide -- and much more.
