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 hsoptial 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 work and meet with the faculty from all these hospitals. The students will work as a member of the clinical team and participate in the clinical care of the plastic surgery patient. If the student is interested in applying to the Stanford plastic surgery residency, this rotation will serve as the residency interview. (Should emphasize this with a boldface since this is important for students to understand).
