We offer training for the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program, Tomando Control de su Salud (Spanish CDSMP), Tomando Control de su Diabetes (Spanish Diabetes), and the Positive Self-Management Program (HIV) at Stanford. At this time, we do not offer regular training at Stanford for the Arthritis Self-Management Program or the Curso de Manejo Personal de la Artritis (Spanish Arthritis Self-Management Program). If you are interested in the the ASMP or Spanish ASMP, please contact us.
Facilitator trainings for representatives of health care organizations are 4½ days. It is strongly suggested that health professionals bring a lay person with chronic disease with them. All workshops and trainings are designed to be facilitated by 2 people. Each trainee receives a detailed leader's manual, and a copy of the workshop's textbook and audio CDs (if applicable). Those being trained as Master Trainers (trainers of leaders) will also receive a trainer's manual and a program implementation tool kit. Spanish-language program trainings at Stanford are done in Spanish, and all materials are in Spanish. We will NOT train bilingually with a translator; trainees must both speak and read Spanish fluently.
Because the process of and many parts of our programs are based on the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program, we offer a cross-training program at Stanford. We suggest that all trainees interested in any of our programs take the CDSMP Master Training first. We offer cross training at Stanford for anyone wishing to offer the Positive Self-Management Program (PSMP) or Tomando Control de su Salud/Tomando Control de su Diabetes to those already trained as Master Trainers for the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program. Participants in the CDSMP training also may participate in either a 1-day cross-training for PSMP or a 1½-day cross-training for Tomando during the few days before or after the CDSMP training. Training for Tomando Control de su Salud and Tomando Control de su Diabetes will be in Spanish only, so trainees must both speak and read Spanish fluently.
Beginning in 2008, the Tomando Control de su Salud cross-training also includes cross-training for Tomando Control de su Diabetes. CDSMP Master Trainers wishing to be trained for the diabetes program must attend the combined Spanish CDSMP/diabetes cross training. Those existing Tomando Control de su Salud Master Trainers who are interested in cross-training for Tomando control de su Diabetes should contact Mirna Rosas at .
Though we do not give a specific training for the Spanish or Japanese versions of the PSMP, bilingual trainees can attend the English cross-training and purchase a license for the Spanish or Japanese versions. The Spanish and Japanese versions are translations that are so similar to the English PSMP that additional training is not required.
We can also come to you. Two Stanford trainers will train up to 26 Leaders and/or Master Trainers at your facility. Master Trainers will enable you to sustain the program in your organization, as they can serve as your own on-site trainers for the future. You can combine your training with other organizations in your area to reduce your costs, if you wish. Demand for these trainings is great, so we need to plan 4-6 months in advance. Details about costs are found on our fees page. If you are interested in an off-site training, print and retrurn the Request for Off-Site Training application.

Transportation
Palo Alto and Stanford are near both the San Francisco and San Jose International Airports. Most people find the San Jose Airport more convenient. Airport shuttles that bring you to Stanford usually require a reservation. Here are some that serve Stanford (some may offer a discount, so it can't hurt to ask): American Airport Services 1-800-494-0214 or 650-494-0200, BayPorter Express 877-467-1800 toll free www.bayporter.com, Silicon Valley Airporter 408-482-4415, South & East Bay Shuttle (SJC only) 1-800-548-4664 or 408-225-4444, SuperShuttle (SFO only) 415-558-8500 www.supershuttle.com.

If you arrive with a car, there is a $12 per day charge for parking (except Saturday), which is due with registration and is non-refundable. As with most college campuses, parking is not easy, but can be found within a block or two. Visitors with a handicapped parking placard may park in any legal parking space anywhere on campus at no charge. Reserve a parking permit on your application.
If you do not arrive with a car, or don't wish to search for parking each day, Stanford runs a free campus shuttle from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Monday through Friday (none on Saturday). The "Marguerite" (named after the horse that pulled the shuttle wagon in the early days) also runs to the transportation hub on University Avenue in Palo Alto, where you can catch the train or the bus to other destinations.
The Palo Alto/Stanford area is very easy to get around on a bicycle. You can rent a bicycle from the Palo Alto Bikestation at the Palo Alto train station/transportation hub or on campus at the Campus Bike Shop.

Tuition for Stanford Training
Tuition and licensing fees are outlined on our Fees page.
Because the Programs are most powerful when taught by peers with chronic disease, we offer tuition at a substantially reduced rate for lay persons. We hope this will help make it possible for your facility to send at least one peer to be trained. Having people with chronic disease at the training also enriches the training. Since the "secret" of the success of the workshop is about process, not content, peers with chronic disease make the training more effective.
Registration
To register for training, fill out the appropriate application, print it, and mail it with your check by the deadline. Call or email Gloria Samuel at (650) 723-7935 ( ) to confirm space availability. Enrollment is strictly limited to 26 per training, on a first come, first served basis. In order to assure a place in training, return your application and a check for your tuition as soon as possible, as the trainings sometimes fill months beforehand. The first 26 complete applications with payment in full for a specific training we receive will be guaranteed a spot. You will receive a confirmation and your licensing agreement by mail approximately 7 weeks prior to training date, so that you can make travel arrangements and route your facility's program license. Do NOT make travel arrangements until you receive your confirmation! Tuition is nonrefundable after the application deadline. We strongly encourage agencies to send at least two trainees, one or both a lay person with chronic disease, since all leader training is facilitated by two trainers. Please send all applications for your agency together. There will be no refunds after the application deadline! Faxed applications will not be accepted. You will not be registered until we receive your payment. We do not take credit cards.
Palo Alto/Stanford Area Facilities
There is a lot to see in the Palo Alto area. On the Stanford University Campus, the Memorial Church, Hoover Institution, Rodin Sculpture Garden, Papua New Guinea Sculpture Garden and the art gallery are popular sights. If you decide to combine your trip to our training with a vacation, there is no end to things to see and do in and near the San Francisco Bay area. A short trip will find you in San Francisco, San Jose, the redwoods or the coast. Monterey and Carmel-By-The-Sea are also wonderful day trip destinations.
