Networks
OFDD sponsors several networking and community building initiatives that aim to foster an atmosphere of inclusion among a diverse faculty at the School of Medicine.
For more information on networking opportunities, please contact us.
Black Faculty Affinity Network (BFAM)
Meet the members of the Stanford Medicine Black Faculty Affinity Meetings (BFAM), a network created through OFDD's Community Support Initiative. BFAM is intended to provide networking and social engagement opportunities for Stanford medicine faculty across all clinical lines and departments.
HEAL Network
In response to growing interest and expertise among faculty that are dedicated to addressing health disparities, we have launched a Health Equity Action Leadership (HEAL) Network. Based in research and scholarship, the HEAL Network will bring faculty together to determine how we can better address health inequities.
LGBTQ+ Faculty Networking
Stanford Medicine’s LGBTQ+ Faculty Networking Receptions provide a networking forum for LGBTQ+ faculty.
Latino Faculty Advocacy Meetings (LFAM)
The purpose of LFAM is to bring together Latino physicians from diverse professional backgrounds at Stanford to coordinate and centralize efforts relating to the Latino patient population, while creating a support network for Latino faculty and students across Stanford University and Healthcare systems.
Minority Faculty Networking
Stanford Medicine’s Minority Faculty Networking group’s meetings offer an occasion to meet with and learn from colleagues. Past events have featured Stanford faculty panelists that discuss strategies for success in academic medicine, and we have also honored each year’s HCOE/OFDD Faculty Fellows and the Dr. Augustus A. White and Family Faculty Professionalism Award honoree.
OFDD Community Support Initiative
To build community and encourage new networks that enact positive change for diversity in academic medicine at Stanford, the Office of Faculty Development and Diversity (OFDD) seeks to help faculty establish communities and networks for inclusion.
