In addition to providing world-class patient care, carrying out cutting-edge research, and training the next generation of urologists, we are also committed to making the Stanford Department of Urology the best place possible to work. To that end, we work hard to nurture and develop leadership potential on our team. During this past year, many of our faculty members have participated in leadership development programs and/or have taken on new leadership responsibilities.

With a medical staff body of over 3000 providers, he also represents the voice of the medical staff to the senior hospital leadership. In addition, in his role as Chief of Staff, Dr. Shah joins the SHC Board of Directors. To make room for this important role, Dr. Shah stepped down from his roles as Physician Improvement Leader of Urology and Cancer Care Program Leader for Urologic Oncology. In addition to his Chief of Staff role, Dr. Shah will continue to serve in his roles as co-director of the Stanford Leadership Development Program and co-director of the Stanford Urologic Oncology Fellowship Program.
