About Us

Our mission is to create an environment that promotes excellence in patient care by providing state-of-art professional development programs for the healthcare community. At the CEPD we offer a wide range of courses to support the growth and interests of the health care professional. 

One of the few nursing continuing education centers in the San Francisco Bay Area, Stanford Center for Education and Professional Development (CEPD) offers a variety of clinical specialty, leadership, life support, and professional development classes. With onsite classrooms and faculty, students have the opportunity for face-to-face communication with speakers and colleagues in formal and informal group settings.

The sharing of new knowledge and innovation is a high priority at SHC.  The speakers, experts in their specialty from Stanford and throughout the country, incorporate evidence-based practices and research in their presentations.  The CEPD at Stanford is unique and provides an environment in which lifelong learning is fostered and embraced.
