University of California (San Francisco) School of Medicine Program
About This Program
The clinical sites for our fellows serve the very diverse patient population of the San Francisco Bay Area in a variety of settings, including a quaternary care hospital, the SF Veteran's Affairs Hospital, and a county hospital that is a trauma center. Our fellows work very closely with robust interdisciplinary teams at each site and with faculty with training in multiple specialties. Fellows can also participate in a global health curriculum with an optional international elective rotation.
