PRESS Program
Promoting Resident Experiences in the Subspecialties at Stanford
Program Overview & Goals
The Department of Pediatrics at Stanford School of Medicine is committed to recruiting and supporting prospective fellows who contribute to a diverse workforce within pediatric medical subspecialties, specifically physicians who identify as underrepresented in medicine based on factors such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, abilities, sexual orientation, and gender identity. This program is designed to foster a community of diverse learners and faculty and to provide residents the opportunity to explore fellowship opportunities within our pediatric medical subspecialities.
- To recruit talented physicians who are underrepresented in medicine, into careers in pediatric medical subspecialties and academic medicine.
- To provide educational and career development in support of Stanford Medicine’s mission.
- To enhance the educational experience of all trainees by promoting the diversity of our community.
- To foster opportunities for collaboration between Stanford Medicine and other institutions and encourage trainees to consider Stanford Medicine for their future training and career.
