Procedures for Away Rotations

UCSF GME training programs may establish rotations for educational experiences for residents and clinical fellows at a variety of training sites. Examples of training sites include: a university, a medical school, a health department, a public health agency, a federally qualified health center, a consortium, or an educational foundation.

Training programs interested in establishing rotations must follow UCSF GME procedures and timeline for outgoing (away) rotations. Should a program need a new affiliation agreement to be established for the rotation, programs must apply at least 4 months in advance; requests received less than 4 months in advance this case will not be granted.
