"My time at John Muir for my inpatient medicine clerkship was an exceptional learning experience.  It was a perfect balance of autonomy in caring for my own patients and collaboration with the attending and residents.  Furthermore, the patient population is very diverse and I felt I had a wide exposure to a variety of bread-and-butter disease processes as well as more rare cases." 

J.L- Touro University

"I was impressed with the quality of patient care, quality of the education and the accommodating staff that helped make this experience excellent."

K.K. - UCSF 3rd year medical student
