Rotations

Third Year Rotations

We are a host institution for third year medical students rotating from Western University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (COMP). Interested students apply through COMP. For these students, we provide a team-based, collaborative environment to learn clinical medicine, attend didactics, and participate in research, student well-being initiatives, and mentorship. At this time, we are not accepting 3rd year student elective rotations from institutions other than COMP.
