Our Residents have the means to develop whatever they aspire to do in PM&R, we have access to all the resources you may need, given this is Silicon Valley; as well as the opportunity for close collaboration with other Stanford University departments; a top level model TBI and SCI system at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, and one of only five Polytrauma Centers within the VA.”
