Our mission is to train leaders in academic cardiology for the 21st century. In accord with this mission, the cardiovascular medicine training program at Stanford University has been developed to offer a wide range of opportunities leading to a career in academic cardiology.
Emphasis is placed on selection of applicants with strong clinical and research backgrounds.
The training program is of three years duration, with many opportunities for a fourth and additional years of research training dependent on fellow accomplishments and stipend availability. For all of our Training Programs, we seek fellows who are dedicated to excellence and the advancement of clinical medicine. The primary purpose of the postdoctoral training program in cardiovascular medicine at Stanford is to prepare physicians for careers in academic cardiology. We are assured of the clinical excellence of our fellows by providing an intensive experience in clinical cardiology rotations. Our belief is that no one type of research is a priority, more desirable than another.
