Medical Students

UCLA is one of the largest Anesthesia programs in the western United States, performing approximately 50,000 anesthetics per year.  Areas of specialization include anesthesia for general surgery, vascular surgery, neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, liver transplantation, orthopedics, ENT, OB-GYN, urology, ophthalmology, and pediatric surgery. 

As part of the surgery clerkship (Course No. SU019.01), third year medical students are enrolled in a one week Anesthesiology rotation. The rotation emphasizes the introduction of basic concepts in anesthesia and critical care. We also offer three elective courses to 4th year medical students to choose from. The 4th year UCLA medical students, as well as potential applicants to the anesthesiology residency program, rotate through the department routinely and a specific medical student lecture series has been set up to meet the needs of the students. Externs should download the clerkship application at http://www.medstudent.ucla.edu/visitingstudents
