I am also rotating at UCSF and was put at general. I would love to hear anyones opinion.

the general is busy...........

good spot to rotate....lots of residents to get to know and work with. residents spend about 40% of their time each year there. busy services. lots of basic ortho and is good learning enviornment for students/residents. a couple (at least 2, but pretty sure 3/7) of the interns that matched this year rotated at sfgh. good luck w/ your rotations/application.

Tons of interaction with many residents which is a chance to shine. General/trauma Ortho at a county hospital, so a much different experience from Parnassus, which is more "traditional" academic practice.

anyone heard anything about the VA?

Each site offers very different experience. Current residents have done sub-Is at all of them, so apparently no selection bias.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone could offer any additional insight into the different locations for UCSF, particularly the VA rotation. From an outside perspective, the VA sounds like a pretty good rotation, 4 days in the OR, and facetime with the PD. Can anyone speak to this?
