Reminder: Disability in Medicine Mentorship Program (SMADIE)

As a reminder, the Stanford Medicine Alliance for Disability Inclusion and Equity (SMADIE) offers an online virtual Disability in Medicine Mentorship Program. 

The SMADIE Disability in Medicine Mentorship Program is open to the public and is conducted in collaboration with Stanford Medicine Alliance for Disability Inclusion and Equity, Society for Physicians with Disabilities, and Medical Students with Disability and Chronic Illness.

The SMADIE Disability in Medicine Mentorship meetings will occur monthly, on the third Wednesday of each month. Meetings typically include both small-group conversations and main room discussions.

We hope that applicants/attendees will be able to make the majority of the monthly meetings to maximize the benefit for them and to give the group a sense of community and cohesion.
