The two-year Stanford EM Administrative Advanced Mentorship is approved by SAEM as a fellowship.
At Stanford, we use the term “advanced mentorship program” (per university naming guidelines) for what many other institutions call a “fellowship.” Advanced mentors at Stanford receive the same high-level training, resources, and opportunities you’d find in a fellowship elsewhere.
This program provides future leaders with valuable experience in all aspects of emergency department management.
Participants enjoy a resource-rich, entrepreneurial environment and collaboration with faculty, nursing, and hospital leadership. They have innovative opportunities to explore and experience the many facets of clinical operations and strategy in an academic emergency department.
Fellows/mentees are active participants in all major department operational and strategic planning discussions and meetings. And they are immersed in a department that is undergoing a tremendous growth phase, including an expansion into digital health.
- Fellows/mentees are appointed as clinical instructors at the Stanford University School of Medicine and combine clinical shifts in an academic teaching hospital with didactics, and participation in committees and projects at Stanford Health Care on:
- quality
- operations
- process improvement
- lean management
- billing/coding
- change management
- digital health & innovation
Fellows/mentees also participate in formal Stanford process improvement/quality improvement programs for clinician leaders. These programs leverage top speakers from Stanford Health Care, Stanford Business School, and other institutions. The two-year program also allows fellows the opportunity to pursue a graduate degree, such as an MBA or equivalent degree, at highly ranked programs around the country.
Fellows/mentees also choose an area of focus to develop more depth in knowledge and experience. Graduates of this program will be prepared to embark on a leadership track in an academic or community hospital setting.
This program is ideal for board-eligible or board-certified graduates of ACGME emergency medicine residency programs.
