Stanford Medicine’s Teaching and Mentoring Academy is designed to be an inclusive, schoolwide entity that promotes excellence in education by developing, supporting, and recognizing dedicated educators in the school. Our Academy membership structure serves two purposes: 1) to encourage membership for any Stanford affiliate--faculty, trainee, staff--who wishes to be part of our community; 2) to use membership as a mechanism for recognizing individuals who contribute significantly to the Academy’s work and/or whose teaching and mentoring merit reward. Membership to the Teaching and Mentoring Academy (TMA) is offered in a two-tiered structure.
