April 22, 2016: Congratulations to Dr. Edda Spiekerkoetter, for being awarded her R01 grant. The R01 grant is a true rite of passage that every clinician-scientist must go through to gain status as a bona fide independent investigator. Dr. Spiekerkoetter has worked tirelessly for years in the field of pulmonary vascular biology under the amazing mentorship of Dr. Marlene Rabinovitch. Her research is transformative for the field and offers hope for a new cure for lethal diseases of the pulmonary vascular tree.

About our Fellowship Program
Welcome to the Stanford Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship. We offer a 3-year ACGME accredited fellowship designed to provide outstanding clinical and research training in an intellectually vibrant and highly supportive learning environment. Our fellowship’s three distinct tracks are structured to offer trainees experiences that align with their unique career goals. We also offer an additional 4th year of subspecialty training in Lung Transplantation, Pulmonary Hypertension and Sleep Medicine which fellows can apply for in their third year.
Training
All fellows receive 18-20 months of clinical training in Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine with core rotations at Stanford University Hospital, the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, and the Palo Alto VA Health Care System. By rotating at these hospitals with distinct patient populations, fellows are exposed to a wide breadth of disease states and pathology. Our elective courses provide the opportunity for the additional in-depth study of specific areas of interest. Our fellows are also provided ample time to explore outstanding research opportunities at Stanford. Thank you for your interest in our fellowship program and for exploring our website. Please don't hesitate to contact us for further information. We are currently recruiting fellows for the class of 2017, as part of the NRMP match.
