Stanford Health Care Program

The Stanford Medical Genetics & Genomics Residency Program offers a diverse clinical exposure, providing trainees with the opportunity to work with patients from various backgrounds with a wide range of genetic disorders. The program also highlights strong clinical and research opportunities within genetics and throughout the School of Medicine. Trainees have access to onsite clinical genetics laboratories, including biochemical, cytogenetics, molecular, and genomics labs.

Program leadership includes Residency Director Dr. David A. Stevenson, who is board certified in pediatrics and medical genetics. Dr. Stevenson's particular interests lie in disorders of the Ras/MAPK pathway, and he works closely with trainees to help them achieve their individual goals within the program. The program also has dedicated educators like Dr. Jon Bernstein, with a special interest in the genetics of autism, and Dr. Dena Matalon, who focuses on resident wellness and community building within the division.

Residents in this program are expected to participate in research endeavors during the 2-year training program, with opportunities to present at various conferences and publish their findings. Recent awards and honors received by residents include recognitions such as trainee member positions, research awards, and conference presentation acknowledgments.
