The Child Neurology Program is a five year program that combines educational opportunities in both Pediatrics and Neurology and prepares the trainee to be board certified in both fields. The first two years of residency are dedicated to pediatrics, the final three years are to specialize in Neurology and Child Neurology. Our program has four positions each year.

Explore Child Neurology Program
I chose Stanford Child Neurology because of the clinical excellence and immersive training across general pediatrics and child neurology, the resident and faculty culture of lifelong learning and curiosity, and the longitudinal commitment to individualized coaching and supportive mentorship. As an aspiring clinician-educator, I also chose Stanford Child Neurology & Pediatrics for the opportunities to develop innovative curricula in undergraduate and graduate medical education, foster inclusive learning environments in the clinical space as a 2nd-generation Pinay physician, and pursue mentored research through the Medical Education scholarly concentration. At LPCH, I love learning from the brighest and most thoughtful role models in Pediatrics and Neurology, advocating for our patients and their families in partnership with our healthcare teams, and building a home away from home with my phenomenal co-residents!
