Special Features
We have a unique diversity of rotation sites, which include the private practice setting at UCSF Health - St. Mary's, the hospital-based practice at Kaiser Oakland Medical Center, the county hospital at Highland Hospital and the pediatric rotations at Shriner's Hospital for Children. Our approach to training is an apprenticeship model that allows for early operative experience and one-on-one training with faculty in both the operating room and the clinic.
