The first of its kind in the nation, the Physician Wellness Advanced Mentorship is led by nationally recognized faculty, preeminent in the field of physician wellness.
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.
Program participants benefit from immersion in the Stanford Department of Emergency Medicine, which has made physician wellness a top priority, and Stanford School of Medicine, which has demonstrated a strong commitment to physician wellness, offering a designated Chief Wellness Officer, a WellMD Center, and an Office of Medical Student Wellness.
This two-year program includes the option to apply and complete a Masters of Education.
The primary goals of this program are to:
1) Master the amassing knowledge base of physician wellness literature.
2) Take a leadership role in our Emergency Medicine Department physician wellness plan.
3) Participate in our Stanford Health Care physician wellness efforts.
4) Develop, implement, analyze, and present a personal research project relating to physician wellness. There is also an expectation to write a publishable manuscript.
5) Create and develop physician wellness projects throughout the year.
6) Create and deliver educational sessions for various audiences, including medical students, residents, nurses, and faculty.
7) Participate as clinically active faculty at the level of Instructor in the Clinician Educator line.
Participants can also take advantage of the many benefits of our beautiful locale, including our close proximity to urban entertainment in San Francisco, the restorative Napa/Sonoma Valley wine country, and the stunning Sierra Nevada mountains for hiking and skiing.
