Residency Programs
Clinical training in the Department is conducted in all the major surgical subspecialties. A hallmark of our clinical training programs is our very well regarded residency programs in:

Emergency Medicine
General Surgery
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

 

Fellowships
Each of these programs is fully accredited and in their most recent reviews were lauded for their excellence. Along with these residency programs and the newly established fellowship in Surgical Innovation are several well established clinical fellowships in Breast Surgery, Bariatric Surgery, Craniofacial Anamolies, Hand Surgery, Transplantation, Vascular Surgery, and Wilderness Medicine. Graduates of our programs can be found throughout the country in advanced training programs, as faculty in other prestigious programs or as private practitioners.

Other education programs include weekly department and division grand rounds, teaching conferences, and special lectures (such as the prestigious Emile Holman Lecture, the Thomas Fogarty Lectureship on Innovation, and Lawrence Crowley Lecture on Pediatric Medicine). Many of these educational opportunities are open to the public. Surgery faculty are active members of the broader Bay Area community and often participate in Stanford University Medical Center Health Library programs and other continuing medical education forums throughout the country.
