Education

The Stanford Maternal and Child Health Research Institute (MCHRI) is committed to fostering a rich community dedicated to advancing maternal and child health at Stanford. MCHRI has embraced numerous initiatives designed to promote rigorous and inclusive education and training of its members across Stanford. 

The Education Committee has been instrumental in driving educational initiatives, including its monthly seminar series and annual research symposium. MCHRI also partners with the Eureka Institute for Translational Medicine, a global community of multidisciplinary, translational professionals, to provide early-career development and mentoring to junior faculty. 

Recently, MCHRI launched the Drug & Device Development (D3) Service and offers rigorous training to support investigators in developing therapeutic and diagnostic devices to benefit mothers and children.
