Where do residents complete rotations?
The main inpatient site is the San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC), which provides medical, surgical, and psychiatric services to county residents. Residents receive much of their outpatient training in one of our three county mental health clinics (geographically referred to as North, Central, and South), where they develop clinical acumen by maintaining a continuous panel of their own psychiatric and psychotherapy patients over the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th postgraduate years. Residents also rotate through sites outside the county for various required and elective rotations, exposing them to a wide variety of patient populations and treatment centers. Current elective rotation sites include services at Stanford University Hospitals, UCSF, Stanford’s student mental health center, Kaiser Permanente, and Mills-Peninsula Hospital (see Clinical Rotations).
