Founded by neurosurgeon, Dr. Odette Harris, the Stanford Network for Advancement and Promotion (SNAP) program brings together participants who work closely to enhance leadership skills and build a community of support from which they can rely on as they grow and advance within the Stanford community. SNAP focuses on low-structure, high-impact discussion sessions in which participants discuss common challenges they face in the realm of academic medicine, like advancement, workplace dynamics, and negotiation, and field effective strategies from fellow group members under the guidance of an experienced facilitator.

The Obstetrics & Gynecology-Stanford Network for Advancement and Promotion (OG-SNAP) group is a department level SNAP formed in 2024 to bring best practices in professional development to a group of mid-career faculty. This program was chosen because it emphasizes community to support leader development and is rated highly valuable by participants.
