We are thrilled to have you join our incredible Pediatrics team! Everyone in the Residency Program is committed 150% to your training and growth as a pediatrician as well as a human being. For some of you, this may be your first full-time job, first time away from your family and friends, first time to California, and many other firsts. This transition is an exhilarating time with some bouts of terror mixed in, but we can assure you that you have a huge team dedicated to residents to make this go as smoothly as possible.
As a Stanford Pediatrics Resident, you have a phenomenal team of program coordinators to support you and guide you in the right direction. We are passionate about our work and bring a jackpot of knowledge to the program from our diverse backgrounds. Ask any of us a far out question, and guaranteed, one of us will know something about it or know where to start looking. We bring out the best in each other and feel that a job worth doing is worth doing together.
Program Education Manager
Carrie (aka Carrie J or CJ) is a diehard LOTR fan & often spends late night hours re-enacting scenes, playing all characters by herself. She's addicted to podcasts & tv shows about the paranormal & is also in denial that her precious Supernatural, the tv series, has come to an end. (fake news)
Carrie is the wizard behind the program's curtain. She will pull levers, flip switches, & honk horns to achieve the best outcome for her residents. Her motto - Do the right thing - drives each decision that she makes. You can trust that she'll do the same for you.
Program Coordinator
If you want to hear the most outrageous stories, talk to Michelle. Just when you think you've heard it all, they come up with something out of left field, from their run in with a North Korean soldier to their almost brawl with a certain celebrity who likes to say "It's a good thing." They're the top 1 on the list of the most interesting people in our residency program.
Michelle is the conscience behind the program. They are a social media maven who has their finger on the pulse of society. They enlighten us all with the latest social issues and mindset of opposing camps. They are an intriguing conversationalist who downplays their smarts, but don't let them fool you.
Program Coordinator
Carrie (aka Carrie M or Caroline) has been crowned the program's cookie queen who could teach Martha Stewart a thing or three about cookies. She is the sunshine that lights up our program & our window-less office. Without her, we'd be sitting in the dark.
Carrie brings so much heart & warmth to the program. She works hard to understand the perspectives of all sides to share balanced recommendations & offer the most informed solutions. It's a guarantee that when she speaks, you know that she's thought long and hard about the topic.
Associate Coordinator
Katherine (aka Kat) is a coffee aficionado with a highly refined coffee palate. Don't try to fool her with Folgers! But her wild side extends beyond coffee into other adventurous caffeinated beverages which sometimes raises eyebrows for a hot second.
Kat is the strength that carries the residents, the program, & its initiatives to success. Without her, Carrie J, Michelle, & Carrie M would be walking undead dead. But because Kat has unparalleled work ethics and integrity, we are spared from being zombies. She also has a wicked sense of humor & is sharply witty which keeps us on our tippy toes.
Don't hesitate to email us if you have any questions or concerns. There is nothing that you can ask us that we haven't heard before. Very little phases us at this point.
We have a hybrid work arrangement, so the office isn't always fully staffed. We are all in the office on Mondays. If you're around the hospital, please stop by and say hello. Throughout the week, we have staggered work days, so please pop into our Zoom office hours on Wednesday afternoons @ 2 pm to connect.
Mondays - fully staffed
Tuesdays - Carrie J. & Katherine
Wednesdays - Michelle
Thursdays - Carrie M. & Katherine
Fridays - work from home
