Fellowship
Program Overview and Fellowship Goals
A three-year ACGME-accredited fellowship program in Adolescent Medicine is offered by the division of Adolescent Medicine in the Department of Pediatrics at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Through excellence in clinical, research, and advocacy training, our mission is to develop and nurture physicians to become experts in the care of adolescents and young adults, in both the primary care and specialty settings. Fostering diversity and belonging are core values of our fellowship program, as we know they are essential to the best outcomes for our patients and educational mission.

We do not typically accept applications submitted after August 31st. Interviews will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and only as long as slots are available. If selected for interview, applicants will be contacted directly by the program coordinator, and an interview date will be scheduled in September or October, depending upon program and applicant availability.
Life in the Bay Area
The San Francisco Bay Area is a melting pot of diverse cultures, where differences are celebrated and welcomed. There is access to phenomenal food, world-class museums, theaters, and music. For the outdoors enthusiast, imagine hiking in the redwoods, skiing in Lake Tahoe and surfing in Santa Cruz in the same weekend. Being in the center of Silicon Valley, where the future technological innovations are created every day, adds to the vibrancy of this community.
