Academy Programs & Resources

The Stanford Health Professions Education and Scholarship (SHAPES) is a one to two year-long professional development program in medical education, designed to introduce clinical educators (faculty, fellows, residents, and students) to fundamental concepts in education.

The Honors Certificate Program in Medical Education is meant to recognize participants with a dedication to medical education, who regularly attend the seminars and complete a scholarly project. The Honors Program is a multi-disciplinary program open to all medical students, residents, fellows, staff, and faculty with an interest in medical education.
