UCSF Fresno: The Student Experience

UCSF Fresno offers clerkships to UCSF medical students, including the Longitudinal Integrated Fresno Education program (or L.I.F.E. ), which is a fully integrated 6 month clinical clerkship for 3rd year medical students.

UCSF interviews 4th year medical students Martin Escandon and Callan Fockele about their experiences in Core Clerkships at UCSF Fresno Center. This includes rotation through specialties such as Neurology, Psychiatry, Internal Medicine, Surgery and Pediatrics.
