Education
A three-year ACGME accredited fellowship program in Adolescent Medicine is offered by the Department of Pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medicine and the Center for Adolescent Health at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford University. The graduates of the fellowship program are envisioned as future academicians in this expanded field of primary and specialty pediatric care which includes adolescent medical, emotional, and behavior problems, school and learning problems, biopsychosocial development, and health education. Stanford University provides a unique setting for such a program because of the collaborative supervision and participation in the program by Child Psychiatry, Social Service, and Nutrition; working relationships with the graduate facilities of Education, Sociology, and Psychology, as well as active alliances with the Santa Clara Juvenile Detention Facility, a San Francisco Public Health Clinic, a school-based clinic, a college health clinic, and a sports medicine clinic.
