Rotation Sites
Students receive a superior education and rich patient volumes during their rotations, which starts at the beginning of the third year. Rotations are at teaching hospitals affiliated with academic health centers, and well-known hospitals in the Southern California area. These include Olive View UCLA Medical Center, the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System, Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, Riverside University Health System Medical Center, Valley Presbyterian Hospital and the WesternU Patient Care Center.
Students choose their third and fourth year clinical rotations in consultation with their faculty mentor and graduate medical education specialists. Fourth year rotations can be in most any state that you select. If you desire to be an extern at a qualified hospital that we do not currently have an affiliation agreement, we will work with you to develop one.
Excellent Clinical Preparation
Clinical rotations are developed to provide you diverse experiences in different patient population and in an integrated interdisciplinary environment. This type of learning exposure will prepare and provide you advantages for your residency selection.
