Building a Strong Community
Stanford Department of Emergency Medicine welcomes and encourages people of all backgrounds and actively promotes a welcoming environment in all aspects of our work.
We aim to bring together individuals with a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences to fuel innovation in education, research, and patient care.
Our patients come from all backgrounds and socioeconomic strata. 60% receive federally-subsidized health care. Embracing varied perspectives fosters novel strategies that ensure our programs, community, and leadership reflect the richness of the patients we serve.
We constantly strive to provide a safe and supportive environment for all through training and education in respect for differences and awareness of biases.
