Translational Investigator Program (TIP) & ABIM Research Pathway
The Translational Investigator Program (TIP) & ABIM Research Pathway allow for candidates to join fellowship after two years of internal medicine training.
The Translational Investigator Program (TIP) is unique to Stanford – candidates interview for fellowship at the same time they interview for internal medicine residency. If accepted into the TIP program, applicants will be guaranteed a spot in our fellowship if they match into the Stanford Internal Medicine Residency. After the clinical time is complete (12-months single-board or 18-months double-board), fellows then pursue three years of protected research time.
Residents participating in the ABIM research pathway are also eligible to join our fellowship after two years of internal medicine residency. Similar to the TIP program, after the clinical time is complete (12-months single-board or 18-months double-board), fellows pursue three years of protected research time. The Divisions of Hematology and Oncology only provide three years of funding, so fellows participating in the ABIM research pathway will need to obtain funding for the last 12-18 months of research.
