Anesthesia Diversity Council

Constituency: Faculty; Residents/Fellows
Office: Department of Anesthesia

The Anesthesiology Diversity Council was formed in 2016. Initially the Anesthesiology Diversity Council included a few ambitious residents and faculty with a vision, and has since expanded to now include faculty, fellows, residents, and interns throughout the department. The goal of the Anesthesiology Diversity Council is to create a functional unit that will identify and cultivate the skills necessary to foster diversity, provide mentorship, create scholarly opportunities and prepare Stanford's anesthesiologists to address the health needs of a diverse population.
