19 total courses - 10, between FY22 and FY23, are required for certification/graduation.

How much does it cost and how do I register?

The program is free and registration is done through Canvas. For help with registration, please review our Registration tutorial, or our Canvas tutorial for help with the Canvas platform.

What if there are no more spots?

Unfortunately, due to bandwidth we can only offer each course once per year at a capacity of 120 persons. Time and resources are limited and we want to ensure this program is engaging. Therefore, if you do get a spot and do not plan to attend in full please drop the course.

If you are selected to be on the waitlist, you'll be notified if you have been enrolled. If you are still on the waitlist after the first week of the course, you'll have to wait until next year.

Who is the program designed for?

The program was created for supervisors that are newly promoted or new to Stanford.

What if I'm not in the School of Medicine?

That is okay, we believe in institutional collaboration and connection. We do ask that you register with your SUNet and Stanford email to help us track participation.

What are the community guidelines?

Excellent question, all of our courses align to the same Online Community Guidelines. Feel free to read through them anytime.
