Our Purpose

Stanford Medicine is leading the biomedical revolution in precision health and medicine. We are transforming health care away from after-the-fact diagnosis to prediction and prevention and away from one-size-fits-all medicine to personalized care that empowers individuals to lead healthy lives. We are leveraging the art and science of medicine to predict and prevent disease before it strikes and cure it decisively if it does.

To achieve our Precision Health vision, we are integrating, building, and leveraging our strengths in fundamental research, the new field of biomedical data science, and nine transformative biomedical platforms. As a learning health system, we will apply these advances in our hospitals and health care delivery systems within Stanford Health Care and Stanford Children’s Health.

Our Values

Fulfilling our promise to humanity requires the engagement of a diverse, creative, and collaborative team of professionals who work together to advance our research, education, and patient care mission. We are looking for leaders who can contribute to making excellence inclusive. We strive to create a culture of inclusion and belonging to ensure all employees have the meaningful employment experience necessary to do their best work.

We value and integrate justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion into all we do to ensure equitable outcomes for our faculty, staff, and trainees. In particular, the work of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Ob/Gyn) is guided by the values of excellence and innovation, diversity and collaboration, respect and integrity, and passion and compassion.

As one of 19 Clinical departments and 12 Basic Science departments within the School of Medicine (SoM), Ob/Gyn has a total annual budget of $58 million, over 200 faculty and staff, and trainees working towards Stanford’s innovative culture: cross-disciplinary interests and a collaborative approach generate a prime incubation environment for transformative thought, learnings, processes, and systems.
