Please feel free to reach out if any questions about this program. The Sub-I at UCSF is a great experience with a really diverse exposure to multiple sites including the VA, general hospital, pediatrics, and Parnassus.
Applications are open for our sub-internship in neurosurgery! The sub-internship offers fourth-year medical students a hands-on experience learning about all aspects of the neurosurgery service. Apply now: meded.ucsf.edu/current-stude… #MedTwitter #MedEd #neurosurgery

“When my four year old daughter says she’s playing doctor, she takes out her toy laptop and starts typing.” I am honored to add a physician voice to the @SenateBudget hearing on administrative burdens in healthcare. I hope I could convey the crushing burdens physicians face in our day to day lives. @RogerMarshallMD @SenWhitehouse @ChuckGrassley @RonWyden @RonJohnsonWI @timkaine budget.senate.gov/hearings/r…
