Nominations Now Open: Physicians Executive Program at Stanford GSB

Funded by the Doximity Foundation, this tuition-free program will prepare emerging physician leaders to shape the future of healthcare

Sep 29, 2025 · Doximity Insider


Nominations are now open for the Physicians Executive Program at Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB)—a new six-month initiative designed for the nation’s most promising physician leaders. Stanford GSB will welcome 60 physicians from US healthcare systems into the spring/summer 2026 Executive Education program. Funded by the Doximity Foundation, this innovative program includes virtual learning and an enriching one-week residency on the Stanford GSB campus.

This immersive, fast-paced leadership certificate program will bring together top faculty, healthcare CEOs, and tech/AI experts to equip participants with the skills and insights needed to navigate and lead in today's evolving healthcare environment.

This initiative stems from the Doximity Foundation’s commitment to investing in the well-being of physicians and the health of our communities. Today, fewer than 5% of health systems are led by physician CEOs. The Stanford GSB Physicians Executive Program aims to increase that number by equipping emerging leaders with relevant financial skills and leadership experiences.
