Stanford Health Care-Sponsored Stanford University Program
About This Program
Our program offers clinical experience at three different sites, a university-base tertiary hospital, VA, and county hospital with diverse patient population and diagnoses. We offer an intersession week for first-year fellows, NF system, fellows' retreat, sub-specialty training tracks, and options for additional fellowship training in renal transplant, critical care, and palliative care. We have a robust renal pathology curriculum and many sub-specialty clinics as options for electives.
