UCSF Fresno Pre-Medical Surgical Internship Program</a></u></span> is a seven-month intensive and comprehensive program designed to prepare current pre-medical students to successfully matriculate into medical school. This program stemmed from the obvious
need to augment the physician workforce in the San Joaquin Valley to meet the needs for our patient population. The program offers interested pre-medical students the unique opportunity to work with the Central Valley’s patient population and to experience
medicine through UCSF Fresno’s Surgery Department. The program is designed to equip the students with skills, such as networking, professionalism, communication skills, time management, coping with stress, personal statement writing, interviewing, that will
serve them well into medical school and thereafter. The program serves an opportunity for the students to build a mentorship network that will support them through their application process and beyond. The aim of the program is to enhance the students’ candidacy
for medical school. All interested pre-medical students are welcome to apply. Please see location and commitment requirements. </p>
