The Division of Pediatric General Surgery offers a 2 year single fellow ACGME accredited fellowship program. The objectives of Stanford's postgraduate training in Pediatric Surgery are to develop Pediatric Surgeons who can, with an increasing level of autonomy, assume complete responsibility for the preoperative, operative, and postoperative management of the problems relegated to their area of special expertise and who can interact appropriately with allied colleagues involved in the care of pediatric patients. Additionally, it is expected that the fellow will develop the sensitivity required to deal not only with pediatric patients, but also with their families. Interwoven with these objectives will be those of an ethical and academic nature that will reflect the conscience of modern Pediatric Surgery and that will help advance the field through innovation, research, and discovery.

The Division of Pediatric Surgery at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford would like to offer a non ACGME accredited fully funded 1-2 year fellowship.  This program is designed for highly motivated mid- or post-general surgery residency candidates interested in becoming successful, independent basic or clinical investigators, and future leaders in academics. The main objective for the fellowship is to graduate individuals who will advance the field of pediatric surgery. Fellows will develop and conduct high-quality research protocols under the guidance of experienced faculty with advanced degrees in basic science and clinical investigation. Applicants should have completed at least the PGY-3 year with a minimum of 3 years in an ACGME-accredited general surgery residency program by the start of the fellowship.  A current curriculum vitae, a statement of interest, and one letter of recommendation from the candidate's current program director or chair are required. Prior experience with statistical software (i.e. SAS/SPSS) is preferred. 

Stanford Surgery Residents gain experience in pediatric general surgery by rotating through the Pediatric Surgery service during their PGY1 and PGY3 years. Third year residents act as the chief resident of the team, leading the team and working very closely with the fellow for a two month period.
