New Faculty Networking

Stanford Medicine’s New Faculty Networking group’s meetings offer an occasion for faculty to meet with colleagues in an informal environment and to consider the experiences of faculty who are new to the Stanford Medicine community. All Stanford Medicine faculty are invited to register for an upcoming group meeting.

Each month OFDE hosts a gathering of a small group of faculty who are relatively new to Stanford to discuss research and clinical interests, faculty development concerns, and career advice across lines and ranks. This provides an opportunity for our faculty to get to know one another across different departments and specialties within Stanford Medicine in an intimate setting. All faculty are invited to attend. Sign-ups for the 2027 academic year will be coming soon. 

Professional Development

All of our Stanford Medicine faculty are encouraged to participate in OFDE’s professional development workshops and leadership programs throughout the year.
