SCIT PROGRAM

The SCIT program is surrounded by and draws from numerous departments, programs, and resources with core relevant competencies to imaging science, as illustrated by the figure below... SCIT is a two-year program training five fellows (roughly half PhD / half MD) per year over a five year funding cycle. Jeremy Dahl, PhD and Bruce Daniel MD, lead this program, featuring 24 mentors with independent cancer-focused or -related funding, and eleven (eight internal / three external) distinguished program advisors. Our strengthened required coursework component includes two courses in the clinical/cancer sciences, two in imaging science, one in biostatistics, one in medical ethics ("Responsible Conduct of Research"), and attendance at a minimum of six multidisciplinary tumor boards. In addition, trainees can select from a multitude of electives offered by various Stanford University Departments, e.g., Radiology, Radiation Oncology, Bioengineering, Biomedical Informatics, and Cancer Systems..
