Information on the Pediatric Cardiology match may be found on their website. The Match typically takes place in the late spring, with match lists being due in late May and the match results published in mid-June.
Women and Minority Candidates: Please note that Stanford University Medical Center is committed to increasing representation of women and members of minority groups in its residency and fellowship training programs and particularly encourages applications from such individuals. The Department of Pediatrics fully supports this policy.
Application: If you are interested in applying to the Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship Training Program at Stanford, please fill out the attached application and return it, with the additional requested documents, to:
Daniel Bernstein, M.D., Director
Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship Training Program at Stanford
750 Welch Road, Suite 305
Palo Alto, CA 94304
Deadline: Our office should receive applications, with all supporting material, by January 1, 18 months prior to the planned start date for the fellowship. Please request letters of reference as soon as possible and ask that they be forwarded to the address above.
Interview Procedures: All applications will be read initially by the fellowship program director as well as one or more faculty members of the Pediatric Cardiology Division. We will offer interviews in Palo Alto to selected candidates and these will be scheduled for January through May of the year prior to the fellowship starting date. We will only offer interviews to candidates who have sent a completed application and for whom we have received letters of reference. We interview only one candidate per day, several days a week. On the day of the interview, candidates meet first with the Fellowship Director and with as many of the faculty as possible, given clinical commitments. The day usually starts around 7:00 AM and ends by 5:00 PM. Candidates may be scheduled to attend one of the fellow or clinical conferences, depending on the day of the visit. The candidate will also meet with many of the current fellows in our program. Interested candidates are invited to contact the program director or other faculty following the interview if there are additional questions or other interests which might not have been completely covered at the time of the visit.
Application Procedures (Advanced 4th year fellowships)
Eligibility: Candidates should be graduates of, or senior fellows in, ACGME-accredited pediatric cardiology training programs in the US. Candidates from equivalent programs overseas will also be considered.
Deadline: Our office should receive applications, with all supporting material, by January 1, 6 months prior to the planned start date for the fellowship. There is no match for 4th year positions, and positions are filled on a rolling basis, so interested applicants should contact us as soon as possible.

They should also arrange for three letters of recommendations to be sent directly, one of which should be from their cardiology training program director.
