Education

The Stanford Department of Medicine has a long history of training exceptional clinicians and researchers in a vast array of disciplines to improve the health of people everywhere. We are a community of practitioners, researchers, advocates, faculty, fellows, residents, students, staff, and more, all committed to advancing care and scientific discovery for patients and populations locally and globally.

The settings in which we teach and learn range broadly from primary care clinics to highly specialized quaternary centers on our campus, from wet labs of molecular genetics to dry labs of data-driven AI applications, working to develop new health care practices, expand research understandings, and create new medical technologies all serve our deep commitment to the human practice of medicine — the core humanity of our patients stays at the forefront of all our ongoing education efforts.

Importantly, it’s not just the work that makes us who we are—it’s the people. The faculty, trainees, and staff who drive education in the Department of Medicine are hardworking, passionate people who care deeply about building new generations of medical educators. No matter whether it’s our first day in medicine or we’ve been doing this for decades, we all strive to make learning in the department an experience like nowhere else.

We hope you’ll explore our websites and join us!

Our program offers broad clinical experience across three hospitals, supportive teaching faculty who are leaders in their fields, housestaff research opportunities, and top-ranked fellowship and career placement.

Fellowships

With programs in fourteen medical disciplines faciliated by our innovative and driven faculty, the Department Medicine offers fellowship experiences unlike anywhere else.

Medical Grand Rounds

Our Medical Grand Rounds host talks by faculty from our own department and invite external researchers at the leading edge of medicine to share their work with our academic community. Join conversations on topics at the forefront of medicine.

Continuing Education

The Department of Medicine leads continuing medical education initiatives that push the boundaries of medicine and our own abilities in the field – these initiatives also represent one of the best ways to push ourselves and our lifesaving work to new heights.

Outreach

The Department of Medicine serves as a trusted partner to community organizations and clinics across the San Francisco Bay Area, and we continuously seek out new connections that help us find novel ways of improving public health in our region and the world.
