Leadership in Health Disparities Program

The Leadership in Health Disparities Program (LHDP) is focused on creating the next generation of physician leaders committed to addressing health disparities. The program consists of four individual courses focused on addressing health inequities including a health disparities journal club examining research articles by Stanford researchers addressing health inequities, a clinical skills and professional identity course, an introduction to Anatomy course, and a leadership course for emerging physician leaders. In addition, the program will provide an RA to provide time for students to participate in a research experience over the summer. Students will also serve as mentors to a parallel summer community college program assisting pre-medical students. Faculty Director of the program is Dr. Felipe Perez. Students must be granted permission by the Office of Diversity in Medical Education (ODME) to register for the course. Prerequisites: Matriculated Stanford Medical Student.
