DEMOGRAPHICS

successfully launched SHC Nursing's 1st strategic cohort
Mentorship Program
In 2019, the Stanford Nurse Mentoring Program transitioned to a cohort-style system. Moving forward, there will be 3 cohorts per year to encourage nurses to pursue professional excellence and elevate their personal practice. The purpose of this revamping was to better support mentoring participants by providing a sense of comradery and a more sophisticated program organization. The first cohort was launched on September 1, 2019, with over 50 pairs successfully matched!
If you are interested in signing up to participate as a mentor or mentee in the next rounds of pairings for March 2020, July 2020, or November 2020, visit www.stanfordmentoring.com.
The innovative Advanced Practice Provider Mentorship Program provides support for new APPs during their transition to their new role, which can be both an exciting, yet stressful and challenging time. To date, there have been 20 cohorts in Stanford’s APP Mentorship Program, and SHC is proud to claim that there are 120 APPs that have completed or are currently participating in the APP Mentorship Program.
