Stanford Medical School Plastic Surgery Clerkship
Stanford Plastic Surgery offers a 4-week clerkship for fourth-year medical students interested in learning more about our field. The rotation offers a broad exposure to the many different clinical facets of plastic surgery from burn care to complex reconstructive procedures. Students will also have the opportunity to work in a variety of practice settings.
The rotation consists of four one-week rotations that take place at the participating hospitals in the Stanford plastic surgery residency program: Stanford Hospital, Palo Alto VA, Santa Clara Valley County Hospital, and Santa Clara Kaiser. Students will meeet and work with faculty from all these hospitals. The students will work as members of the clinical teams and participate in the clinical care of plastic surgery patients. For students interested in applying to the Stanford Plastic Surgery Residency Program, we strongly encourage a 4-week rotation, as this will serve as the residency interview.
This rotation does require that students have access to a car. Enterprise rental car on campus gives a discounted rate to Stanford affiliated students. They can be reached at: (650) 833-8060 (make sure to mention your Stanford affiliation).
If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact our clerkship coordinator at (650) 723-5824.
We look forward to meeting you.
