The U.S. Food & Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiologic Health (CDRH), in partnership with the Stanford Biodesign Program, is seeking Stanford students interested to learn more about the medical device regulatory process and the journey a technology travels as it progresses from the lab workbench to a patient. The fellowships provide a unique opportunity to learn about the FDA approval process for medical devices, including topics such as:

- Medical device design
- Clinical trial design
- Safety and effectiveness evaluation
- Materials, performance, bioeffects and standards
- Adverse events

Graduate and undergraduate students, postdoctoral candidates and postdocs from engineering (mechanical, electrical, software, and others) and life sciences (biological sciences, medicine and clinical specialties) areas are encouraged to apply.


Students must have completed a minimum of three quarters of their college education and must be a current student attending Stanford or have just graduated in the same year as the internship or fellowship.
