The clinical experience takes place in the operating rooms of California Pacific Medical Center’s Mission Bernal and Van Ness campuses, both state of the art and new facilities which opened in 2018.  Outpatient surgery, to include outpatient joint replacement is at the Presidio Surgery Center.  The fellow typically operates four days a week, and has one day for clinic and research, although this schedule is flexible depending on the desires of the fellow.  The fellow works one on one with an attending mentor for all cases.  The office call responsibility is approximately one night in every twelve.
