Medical Student Information

In addition to teaching 29 Family Practice residents, the department provides medical student clerkships to Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) and Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) medical students. Students experience the full scope of Family Practice, spending time in physician clinics; urgent care clinics, and procedural clinics to include vasectomy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, exercise treadmill, and colposcopy clinics. Students also get firsthand exposure to fracture management through the department's cast clinics.

Medical students interested in a rotation should contact the Medical Education Office at (707) 423-7947 as early as possible (student rotations often fill months in advance). Interviews (rotations are encouraged) are scheduled through Dr. Labson at the address and phone numbers below. Students should arrive at the department at 0730 hours and report to the department secretary. Students are welcome to attend the department's opening rounds from 0730-0900. Interviews will last approximately 30 minutes and there will be roughly five interviews scattered throughout the day. Class A uniform is appropriate attire, and interviewees are encouraged to bring copies of their CV.

Travis AFB is most easily accessed from Sacramento International Airport. Take Hwy 5 N. to Woodland; take the Main St. exit and turn left under the freeway; at the second set of lights, turn left onto Hwy 113 S.; take the I-80 W. exit (toward San Francisco); take the Airbase Parkway exit and turn left (back over the freeway); follow this all the way to the Travis AFB main gate (further directions there).
