At the forefront of medical research and education, the PRIME program within the Stanford Anesthesia Summer Institutes (SASI) is dedicated to advancing the field of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine through innovation, research excellence, and comprehensive mentorship.
Our Mission
To provide unparalleled research opportunities and mentorship to our past program participants, particularly focusing on underrepresented minorities in the field, fostering a diverse and inclusive community of healthcare leaders.
About PRIME
PRIME is an integral part of the SASI initiative, developed in response to the challenges faced by our alumni in securing research positions. We offer paid research opportunities, integrating participants into ongoing projects at the Stanford AIM Lab, and focus on producing impactful educational outcomes.
Key Features of PRIME
- Inclusive Research Opportunities: Opening doors for past participants, especially underrepresented minorities (URiM) and those traditionally underrepresented in leadership positions in medicine (ULiM), to engage in high-quality research.
- Tailored Mentorship: Providing sensitive and responsive mentorship to navigate academic medicine and research.
- Diverse Perspectives in Scholarship: Enriching the field with diverse perspectives, essential for representative and inclusive research.
- Community Building: Fostering a supportive network among participants for long-term career success.
