Steering Committee
The Stanford Medicine Teaching and Mentoring Academy Steering Committee consists of both voting and non-voting (ex officio) members representing a balanced and broad range of viewpoints and experiences within the School of Medicine.
The Steering Committee sets and reviews the general direction of the Academy, ensuring the Academy is well integrated with other resources on campus. The Steering Committee convenes on a regular basis to guide the development and fulfillment of the Academy’s mission. Additionally, the Steering Committee reports to and is accountable to the Faculty Co-Directors of the Academy and carries out its responsibilities in collaboration with the academic leadership of the Stanford University School of Medicine.
