    Interviews

    We invite candidates whom we feel will gain most from the training program to interview with us at Stanford.   We will prepare an itinerary for each visiting applicant, including meetings with faculty and fellows to acquaint you with the clinical and research opportunities offered in our program.  

    After reviewing the description of the program, you may wish to meet with particular members of the faculty or have in-depth discussions about a particular research area.  Please inform the fellowship coordinator about your special interests, and we will make every effort to accommodate you.

    In November, the faculty will review all of the documents for each candidate including impressions obtained from interviews.  Applicants will then be ranked with the National Residency Matching Program infectious diseases fellowship match.  We will be happy to provide information about the status of each person's application at any time during the process.
