S-SPIRE EDUCATION
The S-SPIRE Center sponsors professional development and educational programs among pre- and post-doctoral students, surgical residents, and junior faculty. Our broad education goal is to prepare students, residents, and junior faculty to conduct high impact health services and outcomes research, and to become part of the larger HSR community. For example, the Professional Development Resident Bootcamp is a summer lunch seminar designed to optimize research productivity and to establish foundations for an academic career. In 2017-18, we held a writing workshop, a qualitative software training workshop, and most recently a Mixed Methods Research workshop.
Interactive Workshops
Mixed Methods Research Workshop
This annual 3-day intensive workshop was created for individuals who wish to design or analyze a mixed methods research project using qualitative and quantitative methods. Upon completion of the workshop, participants will have a personalized design and implementation plan for their projects.
PD Bootcamp for Residents
Professional Development time at Stanford is viewed as an opportunity for residents to acquire the skills needed to develop a body of work, typically in a research niche, to distinguish the resident and establish a career track towards academic leadership in the profession.
