Stanford COMET Fellowship: Zoom Info Sessions
“Why become a COMET fellow?
Being a COMET Fellow is a unique opportunity for prospective healthcare students to observe and participate directly in patient care. Stanford’s Medical Postbac Fellowship, also known as Clinical Observation and Medical Transcription (COMET), is a one-year post-baccalaureate program designed for highly motivated students interested in pursuing a career in the health professions. Fellows are trained in medical terminology and clinical documentation. They work side-by-side with faculty physicians and other clinicians by supporting clinical visits through medical documentation, population health outreach, procedure preparation, and more, seeing patients together at Stanford Healthcare clinics and affiliated clinics in the community.
We are looking for candidates who are academically strong, with excellent interpersonal and leadership skills, who desire an intensive direct patient care experience before applying to medical school, physician assistant school, nursing school, or other graduate school in the healthcare field. Being a COMET Post-bacc Fellow is an unparalleled way to build clinical experience and be immersed in medicine. The COMET Fellowship provides fellows the ability to connect with faculty and develop a mentoring relationship, as well as the opportunity to engage in research or other scholarly pursuits.
One of the goals of the COMET Fellowship is to support our fellows’ professional growth. COMET fellows may choose to pursue external part-time employment opportunities or academic classes in addition to their regular COMET scribing duties. At the end of the fellowship year and based on performance, fellows are eligible to apply for a one year leadership role as a COMET Chief overseeing teams of our COMET fellows.
Prospective fellows can apply to be a COMET Fellow in different specialties: family medicine, internal medicine, senior care, palliative care, endocrinology, cardiology, dermatology, gastroenterology, infectious disease, radiation oncology, express care, gynecology, pelvic health, and many more.
Please see below Info Sessions for our upcoming COMET Fall Cohort 2026-2027 application cycle.
Monthly online info sessions via Zoom will be available to prospective fellows who want to learn more about the program.
