Palo Alto VA Medical Center

The Palo Alto VA Medical Center, located just a few miles from Stanford University Hospital, is one of the flagship VA medical centers around the country and one of the largest referral centers in the VA system. The VA recently opened a new imaging center with new reading rooms and equipment including a PET-MRI, 3T MRI, and upgraded interventional suites. Residents spend ~11 months on rotations here where they have the opportunity to care for our nation’s veterans, seeing both the common diseases of this population and more unusual tertiary-care cases of patients who are referred from VA centers throughout the region.
