MERIT Pathways

The robust mentorship program and specialized tracks at the Stanford IM residency are complemented by a unique and innovative program designed to provide all residents in our Categorical Program with individualized areas of expertise and distinction. Upon entering the R2 year, residents will have the opportunity to select up to two MERIT Pathways that align with their clinical/scholarly interests. Each MERIT Pathway will be directed by a faculty distinguished in their field. A resident within a specific MERIT Pathway will have unique professional development opportunities and receive additional targeted mentorship from MERIT leaders.
