So, if you're curious about a career in medicine and biomedical research, then join us for a summer of exploration and learning about how to navigate a career in medicine. Through this 2-week course, you'll also begin to build a community of peer supporters and find a safe space to discuss belonging in Medicine. Stanford faculty will share their own experiences and walk through the latest evidence-based strategies to navigate complex situations and overcome obstacles related to DEI. The course will provide an invaluable opportunity to seek mentorship and guidance from some of the leaders in the field. Students will attend lectures and participate in a variety of activities with in-depth interactions with near-peers, staff, and faculty and together explore opportunities and career paths in medicine. All students who are interested in medical innovation, surgery, biomedical engineering and MedTech entrepreneurship are welcome to apply.ĭescription: Long overdue, issues of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are finally rising to the forefront of our national consciousness. One of the most persistent challenges facing the field of Medicine is that our institutions do not reflect the diversity of the communities they serve. This absence of diversity directly impacts young people who “opt-out” of careers in which they are not represented. True progress towards diversity, equity, and inclusion will require us to address multiple long-standing barriers simultaneously and in this summer program, we aim to equip high school students with the skills, knowledge, and resources to prepare them for college life, STEM courses, and ultimately, careers in Medicine. We will also teach students how to how to recognize, confront and remediate unfair practices, and how to be an advocate for themselves and others. You will hear from Stanford faculty, who are on the frontline and leading the effort to promote DEI in medicine. Diving into real-world case studies and discussing with professionals will prepare them for their final “shark tank” style project in which they develop and pitch their own innovation. Students will hear from Stanford University faculty and Silicon Valley MedTech Industry experts, who are on the frontline and leading the effort in medical innovation. This 2-week course will position students precisely at this juncture, focusing on medical innovation and drawing themes from clinical medicine, engineering design, and business principles. New startups regularly flower out of research in university laboratories, with benefits accruing to both companies and scientists. New techniques and markets allow us to develop and evaluate interventions at a rigor and pace unknown to past generations. We invite you to explore our website and contact us for opportunities for training and research collaborations.Description: We live in a golden age of surgical technology. The division's mentor-trainee program offers in-depth guidance throughout all aspects of fellowship training and support though our NIH funded endocrinology training grant. The program places a major emphasis on trining academic endocrinologists interested in basic and/or clinical research or those who plan to become clinical educators and also suits the needs for trainees interested as private practitioners. Our clinical fellowship program provides trainees with two to three years of advanced training i the field of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism. The division currently consists of 26 faculty, 8 adjunct faculty, 7 emeritus faculty, and 2 instructors. Several speciality clinics are available, including a Pituitary Center that focuses on pituitary and hypothalamic disorders, Thyroid clinic, Bone clinic, Neuroendocrine tumor clinic, as well as several diabetes focused clinics. Research efforts are supported by government and private funding and include diverse areas such as hormone action, various aspects of diabetes, obesity, growth disorders, bone metabolism, pituitary disorders, aging and the genetics of endocrine disease.Ī wide diversity of patients are treated at weekly clinics throughout three different locations, Stanford Hospital, VA Palo Alto Health Care System and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. This issue of Stanford Medicine magazine explores scientific advances that are helping unlock the mysteries of the brain. The Division has a longstanding tradition of excellence in research, highlighted by major discoveries in the areas of insulin resistance and diabetes. As a leading center for research, clinical studies, consultation, and treatment, our faculty is dedicated to providing patients with the latest therapies in the care and management of comples endocrine diseases and diabetes.
