Education
A three-year ACGME accredited fellowship program in Adolescent Medicine is offered by the Department of Pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medicine and the Center for Adolescent Health at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford University. The graduates of the fellowship program are envisioned as future academicians in the field of Adolescent Medicine.
Stanford University provides a unique setting for such a program because of the opportunities for collaboration with clinicians and scientists in other divisions within the Department of Pediatrics, other departments within the School of Medicine as well as with other schools within the university. The division has strong working relationships with the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and the departments of Social Service and Clinical Nutrition. In addition the Division of Adolescent Medicine has active alliances with the Santa Clara Juvenile Detention Facility, a San Francisco Public Health Clinic, the Vaden College Health clinic, and a sports medicine clinic.
Supervision is provided by nine board-certified adolescent medicine specialists with diverse clinical and research interests. One fellowship position is offered per year and the program participates in the National Resident Matching Program (NMRP). Only those applicants who have completed a minimum of three post-graduate training years and who plan an academic career in Adolescent Medicine will be considered.
Fellowship applications are submitted on- line through ERAS, beginning July 1st of each year.
