Envisioning the Future, Building on Our Past
This 2016 newsletter from the Stanford Department of Medicine is neither a yearbook of our recent accomplishments nor an annual report replete with facts and figures. It’s most like an anthology, giving readers glimpses of some recent progress we’ve made as we addressed Stanford Medicine’s tripartite mission: to teach our students and trainees, to do research, and to care for our patients. As we move toward the future, it’s important to reflect on the past, which created the culture of the Stanford Department of Medicine. The report also features Stanford Health Policy's Marcella Alsan's work about the impact of the tsetse fly on African economies.
In this video, Robert Harrington, MD, chair of the Department of Medicine, gives an overview of the department's vision for the future, as well as highlighting the department's four strategic priorities.
