Frequently Asked Questions
What is the duration of CI fellowship?
The ACGME requires completion of a 2 year fellowship.
Is this a Stanford-wide training program?
Yes! The program offers core informatics rotations in both hospitals (Stanford Health Care and Stanford Children’s Health) and at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
I am interested in the Stanford Biomedical Informatics MS program. Can I do both?
Clinical Informatics fellowship is a 2 year full-time experience in applied clinical informatics. Alternatively, the academic MS program is a 2 year full-time program designed for in-depth study of biomedical informatics with research. It is not feasible to combine the programs. CI Fellows will have exposure to and opportunities to collaborate with BMI students and faculty through seminars (e.g. BMI 208), and fellowship faculty collaborate with MS and PhD students on projects. However, we recommend that applicants apply to the program that best fits their career goals; leadership of both programs are available to discuss the options in more detail.
Are international applicants accepted?
International medical graduates are invited to apply to the Clinical Informatics Fellowship if they are US Board eligible in their primary specialty. More information about the application process for internation medical graduates is available on the Stanford GME website.
