• "The Stanford Training Program in ELSI Research was one of the most transformative experiences of my early career. As a political theorist, I received structured mentorship in how to conduct qualitative bioethics research and apply for extramural funding from the NIH. Professors Cho and Tabor are brilliant mentors who are my strongest supporters and toughest critics. Thanks to their efforts, I am one of the few individuals with significant physical disabilities to have a faculty-level position in a medical school, right here at Stanford. In my time as a T32 Fellow, I learned about the intersection of rare disease research ethics and disability bioethics, as well as participated in both research ethics consultation and clinical ethics consultation (SCBE is one of the few institutions that has training opportunities in both kinds of consultation). At SCBE, a Fellow can really craft their own adventure in ELSI research and realize a career without limits."

"I highly recommend the Stanford training program in ethical, legal, and social implications research to anyone interested in exploring a career in bioethics research. When I completed the predoctoral fellowship, I was a medical student considering a career as a physician investigator; the fellowship provided me with protected time and structure to receive world-class mentorship, get involved in a variety of research projects, and develop my own academic interests. Now that I am a medical resident in a research-track program, I continue to be surprised by how this fellowship experience has enabled me to continue to pursue research even as a busy clinician by giving me the background to design and select research experiences wisely. However, the best part of the fellowship is the people: the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics is full of incredible individuals with diverse personalities, backgrounds, interests, and career trajectories -- they will teach you so much simply by working alongside you."

• "Throughout my time as a research assistant and postdoc, SCBE was a second “academic home”. My cross-training in ELSI, Medical Sociology, and Science & Technology Studies has opened up so many opportunities to collaborate with biomedical researchers and clinicians. The interdisciplinary faculty mentoring team at SCBE really enables trainees to walk between worlds and stretch the impacts and boundaries of ELSI work."

“During my time as a fellow at SCBE, I conducted collaborative ethnographic research with Dr. Sandra Soo-Jin Lee. As part of the fellowship, I had opportunities to learn about different funding mechanisms for social science research in interdisciplinary settings, writing for wider academic and non-academic audiences, and opportunities for research on social and ethical dimensions of genetics. Having the opportunity to work with Dr. Lee as my postdoctoral mentor was the most amazing aspect of the fellowship.”

"I am a medical anthropologist by training, and my fieldwork concerns the day-to-day operations of medical and scientific research institutes. In addition to giving me the time and resources to further develop my own thinking, my SCBE fellowship therefore also doubled as practical experience, as I became more familiar with the world of academic medicine. I particularly appreciated the opportunity to discuss case studies in bioethics, and to hear from a diverse array of experts in clinical practice, law, and philosophy. Speaking candidly, I also feel that my time as an SCBE fellow has significantly advanced my career: both the fact of having been a fellow, and the conference presentations I gave during my time, have opened up subsequent funding opportunities.  I am currently concluding my doctoral fieldwork in Sydney, Australia, supported by the NSF and the Wenner-Gren Foundation, where I study the emergence of electronic mental health therapies."
