Resident Advocacy Council
Paving pathways of advocacy and action in our resident community
In 2018, residents in StAT founded Stanford’s Pediatric Advocacy Council, which orchestrates grassroot advocacy efforts, education, and skills-building for all pediatric residents. Designed to meet every 2-4 weeks, the Advocacy Council helps coordinate efforts and disseminate advocacy initiatives that span the hospital system to respond to community, legislative, and national child health needs.
Mission
We support our fellow pediatric resident physicians in creating systemic changes to improve child health in our local communities and nationally. We understand that health care is one of many important factors that influences the health of children.
How do we do it?
We accomplish this goal by working as physician-advocates through community-building, mentorship, advocacy, and education. We also seek to learn from and advocate with our local communities, our patients and our community partners.
