We have an opening for a fellow in our pediatric critical care fellowship program starting July 2025. This would be for a first year fellow, an advanced fellow (ie cardiology or other subspecialty trained) seeking a 2 year fellowship, or for a transfer fellow starting their 2nd year.
The Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Fellowship Program at Stanford University is an ACGME-accredited 3-year training program with an annual program size of 14 fellows. We offer a 2-year training program for eligible applicants who have completed scholarly activity in a prior ACGME-accredited subspecialty program.
Clinical training occurs at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford (LPCH), a quaternary free-standing pediatric center. Trainees will have extensive clinical exposure through rotations in both the 36-bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and 36-bed Cardiovascular Intensive Care Units (CVICU) with an estimated 2,100 PICU and 1,200 CVICU admissions annually for critically ill, high-complexity patients. The PICU provides critical care services for all subspecialties with very active programs in neurocritical care, airway reconstruction, solid-organ and stem cell transplantation and Level 1 trauma amongst others. The CVICU provide critical care services for a full spectrum of pediatric cardiac disease, including over 500 postoperative patients per year following cardiopulmonary bypass with robust and nationally-recognized congenital heart, electrophysiology and heart failure programs.
We prepare trainees for careers as academic clinician-scientists or clinician-educators in pediatric critical care medicine. Trainees generally complete 18 months of clinical training and 18 months of research and scholarly activity during their three-year fellowship. Over the course of their training, fellows are exposed to traditional bedside and didactic teaching, procedural skills using ultrasound- or video-guidance, hi-fidelity simulation programs, and web-based learning modules. As fellows advance through the training program, they attain progressively higher levels of autonomy and responsibility.
With a strong emphasis on both clinical excellence and scientific discovery, our fellowship program is dedicated to training academic pediatric intensivists who provide the highest level of care to critically ill patients, and who are committed to the creation of new knowledge to better understand pediatric critical illness. Our fellowship training program provides a collegial, supportive environment, while still ensuring that fellows are able to realize even their most ambitious career aspirations.
