Coaching


Stanford School of Medicine and Stanford University have a wide variety of faculty training opportunities. The Office of Faculty Development and Diversity (OFDD) and the Office of Academic Affairs (OAA) created a centralized faculty training website with go-to resources for your professional development.

If you have questions, please contact OFDD and/or OAA.

Resources are organized in the eleven categories below. Under each category are Stanford organizations highlighting the type of program, intended audiences, sponsoring unit, how to join, duration/logistics, details, and the website links/contact information. 

Open to Stanford Medicine faculty of all ranks and lines

  • COACHME@Stanford

    The AMA, AAMC, and ACGME are proposing integrating coaching into the arc of medical education. COACHME@Stanford is a new resource that will not only help you navigate this, but will also provide you with a powerful skillset in your day-to-day work. We are offering training courses for program directors, coach program leaders, advisors, mentors, and other core educators at the School of Medicine who are in roles for whom coaching would be of immediate utility. Open to Stanford Medicine faculty of all ranks and lines.

  • Executive Coaching through OAA

    We encourage our faculty to engage with professional coaches early to assist faculty rather than when serious issues have developed. Open to Stanford Medicine faculty of all ranks and lines.

External Coaching Referrals

The Office of Academic Affairs maintains an ongoing database of external professional coaches who are certified and have worked with Stanford faculty and with clients at other medical schools.  Faculty who would like to inquire about these resources may contact Rania Sanford, EdD, PCC, rhegazi@stanford.edu, to discuss the coaching needs.
