The Advanced Residency Training at Stanford (ARTS) Program offers residents and clinical fellows the opportunity to combine their clinical training with advanced research training to complete a PhD degree during or upon completion of residency or clinical fellowship. The program begins with one or more years of postgraduate clinical training, followed by research training in one of twenty graduate programs from the Schools of Medicine, Engineering, or Humanities and Sciences. Through the ARTS Program that provides individuals with the tools needed to move freely between the laboratory and the clinic, Stanford demonstrates its commitment to the emerging disciplines of translational medicine and precision medical care.

The CSBS program is a two-year postdoctoral training program at Stanford University focused on innovative, multidisciplinary cancer research education that seamlessly integrates experimental and computational biology to systematically unravel the complexity of cancer. The program brings together 36 Stanford faculty mentors from 19 departments or divisions bridging the Schools of Medicine, Engineering, and Humanities and Sciences. The CSBS Program has trained five inaugural scholars and completed candidate recruitment for the next trainee cohort that started on September 1, 2017.

The SCIT Program is a two-year program that offers a unique research opportunity in cancer imaging. Currently in its 25th year of training, the program, initially called the Advanced Techniques for Cancer Imaging and Detection Program, was designed and directed by Dr. Gary Glazer, former chair of the department. The goal of the program is to provide MD and PhD research fellows advanced training in cancer-related imaging research with a focus that is primarily driven by physics and technology development and application. Since its inception in 1992, the SCIT program has provided support for the training of more than 40 fellows.
