Hi guys, not much of a regular on here, but thought I would tune in and get a glimpse of how the interview season is going. I'm currently an intern in the Stanford/Kaiser program and am having a great time so far. Fun and friendly people, amazing location, awesome diversity in training locations (academic center, community, and 2 county hospitals), and tons of opportunities.
For some updated info on the program and a personal perspective check out this interview with one our former chiefs on the NEMSIN website:

Our website hasn't been updated in a couple of years so I just wanted to give update on some of the things that can be done in the 3 + 1 year format (i.e. you can stay on for extra year as an academic junior faculty member):
1. International medicine fellowship: Theres active projects in India, Vietnam, and Papa New Guinea. Our Vice-Chair "Maha" (author of Introduction to Clinical Emergency Medicine") is leading an effort to establish EMS and train EM docs in India for an area that covers 200 million people.
2. Ultrasound fellowship: Sarah Williams, our ultrasound guru and author of several textbook chapters, directs an awesome fellowship with grads that have gone on to be ultrasound directors at other residency programs. The fellowship is strongly supported by the Departments of Radiology and Anesthesia at Stanford which has led to a number of collaborative projects.
3. Wilderness Medicine fellowship: Stanford has a powerhouse group of faculty members involved in wilderness medicine including our department chair Bob Norris who you may have seen on "Venom ER." Paul Auerbach is here, the guy who wrote "Wilderness Medicine." They've got projects going on all over the place including Mt. Everett base camp.
4. Cardiovascular Medicine fellowship: Don Schrieber directs this unique fellowship that allows one to develop expertise and research experience in cardiovascular emergencies. Active projects include PE/DVT trials, ED cardiac echo, and acute stroke therapies. There are collaborations as well with the Cardiology and Neuro departments.
5. EMS fellowship: Greg Gilbert directs this fellowship which is based out of Santa Clara County EMS (which includes San Jose, the 10th most populous city in the US). There's flight experience with Stanford Life Flight along with multiple research opportunities.
6. Sports Medicine fellowship: Dan Garza, one of the sports medicine docs for Stanford's D-I athletes and team doc of the 49ers directs this one. Jeff Perterson another one of the sports medicine guys is one of the team docs for the 4 Deserts marathon (http://www.racingtheplanet.com/gobimarch/live/2006/medical.shtml).
7. Simulation medicine fellowship: Simulation began at Stanford in the 1980's and has long played a role in medical and resident education. Our program director Phil Harter directs this one.
8. Adminstrative fellowship (formerly Chief Resident): Basic chief resident stuff like working on the curriculum, scheduling, teaching etc.
I hope that you will find this infor useful and I would be happy to answer anyone's questions about the program. Good luck in the match!
