Clinical Neurology and Neuroscience Fellowships
Clinical Neurology Fellowships
Clinical fellowship training is available in many subspecialties, including clinical neurophysiology (with subspecialty in epilepsy, neuromuscular disease, or intraoperative monitoring), stroke/vascular neurology, multiple sclerosis, neuro-critical care, neuro-oncology, and movement disorders. In general, applicants should have completed neurology residency by the time of entry into the fellowship and have a US license to practice medicine.
Neuroscience Fellowships
Residents in Stanford Neurology are eligible for the Neuroscience Scholar Track. Stanford is also home to many neuroscience investigators. Information may be obtained from each investigator's web site, or from the Stanford Institute for Neuro-Innovation & Translational Neuroscience (SINTN), the Stanford Bio-X program, and the Stanford Health Research and Policy Department.
Applicants should contact individual program directors listed below for further information.

International Medical Students
We accept applications from international medical school graduates, although the application process is extremely competitive. Some clinical experience in the U.S. is mandatory. Only a select few with exceptional credentials are invited for interview. An international medical school graduate must have a valid ECFMG certificate, completed USMLE Part III, and one year of ACGME approved residency training prior to commencement of neurology training. (Two years of pediatric residency training prior to neurology is required for pediatric neurology candidates.) Stanford does NOT sponsor trainees for the H-1B visa.
