Clinical experience starts in the first weeks of your first year. At our school, you’ll join a clinical care team at Kaiser Permanente almost as soon as you arrive. The hands-on experience you gain from your clerkships will help inform and deepen every aspect of your studies.
CLERKSHIP SETTINGS FOR EVERY INTEREST.
During the first two years, your clerkships will be at one of six Kaiser Permanente medical centers in Southern California—each one representing different populations and specialties. In your third and fourth years, you’ll have the opportunity for clinical experiences in other Kaiser Permanente regions, and other institutions across the country.

FOLLOWING PATIENTS OVER TIME. Mentored by a preceptor who is a Kaiser Permanente physician, you’ll see patients on an ongoing basis. Helping patients navigate their healthcare over time will make you a more effective clinician and scientist—and a more passionate advocate.
LEARNING FROM LEADERS IN TEAM-BASED CARE.
During your clerkships, you’ll learn to treat the whole patient. Collaborating across professional disciplines and medical specialties will help you achieve the best possible outcomes. This integrated model of care will serve you well in any healthcare setting.
