The Stanford Clinical Biochemical Genetics Fellowship Program is an ABMGG Clinical Laboratory Fellowship that is ACGME accredited. This program aims to educate fellows in delivering high-quality laboratory services in clinical biochemical genetics, provide broad-based training in a scholarly environment, and develop clinical biochemical geneticists with leadership skills.

The fellowship is open to individuals with PhD, MD, or MD/PhD degrees. Fellows will rotate through various departments at Stanford University Medical Center, including the Clinical Biochemical Genetics Laboratory, Biochemical Genetics Clinic, Clinical Genomics Program, Cytogenetics Laboratory, and Molecular & Genomics Pathology.

Applicants are required to submit a CV, Personal Statement, and Three Letters of Recommendation by September 30th, 2023. For applicants who trained outside the US, their credentials must be reviewed by ABMGG.

Fellows are expected to undertake a mentored research project during their training and have the opportunity to co-author peer-reviewed publications and present their work at meetings. The program leadership reviews applications in October-November, and competitive candidates will be contacted about next steps.

As of the information available, the program lists Tina Cowan, PhD as the Program Director, Kristina Cusmano-Ozog, MD as the Associate Program Director, and Mary Riordan as the Education Program Coordinator.
