Before you apply for a position with Stanford Hospital & Clinics, we’d like you to take a moment to consider the kind of employee you aspire to be. You may have already read about C-I-CARE, the backbone of our hospital culture.

C-I-CARE instructs us to:

• Connect with people by calling them by their proper name, or the name they prefer (Mr., Ms., Dr.)
• Introduce yourself and your role
• Communicate what you are going to do, how long it will take, and the impact to the patient
• Ask permission before entering a room, examining a patient, or undertaking an activity
• Respond to a patient’s questions or requests promptly; anticipate patient needs
• Exit courteously with an explanation of what will come next

There’s a reason why the Hospital is known throughout the world for our excellence in patient care and innovation: You. Please confirm that you agree with C-I-CARE, and that you recognize the impact your contributions can have on everyone who comes to Stanford Hospital & Clinics.
