ABOUT STETHO STEPS

Who We Are

Stetho Steps LLC is a mission-driven organization established by education and health professionals to improve how health workers are trained and supported.

Vision

Equitable and adaptive health professions education across disciplines and contexts to improve health worldwide.

Mission

To build resilient and sustainable systems for health professions education.

Our Approach

We believe education must do more than transfer knowledge. It must support the entire journey of the health professional and the communities they serve. Our work is informed by the Education for Life model, comprising three pillars.

(Frenk et al., 2022, Lancet)

LEARNING THROUGHOUT LIFE

Education shouldn’t end at graduation. The health field changes too fast for that. We build expert-reviewed resources and learning experiences to support continuous lifelong learning at every stage.

LEARNING TO PROMOTE AND RESTORE HEALTHY LIVES

The core of our work is service. This pillar focuses on developing the practical skills, knowledge, and attitude needed to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals, families, and communities.

LEARNING TO LIVE ONE'S OWN LIFE

You can’t pour from an empty cup. This pillar focuses on supporting holistic personal well-being, building resilience, preventing burnout, and advocating for work environments that support everyone’s health.
