Did mine in IM. You doing a subinternship or just a regular clerkship? What department?

Also, you are going to have to just deal with it and rent a room in a house I'm afraid. Unless you are willing to look on craigslist or the like for a very expensive, short term single bedroom let.

Try the UCLA housing rooms to rent thing, there is a link on the ucla elective website. I rented a room off a slightly mad, middle aged single woman. Was fine really apart from the dust allergy I got which almost drove me mad.

You need to find somewhere within walking distance ideally. When you look on the map, things appear really close but a block is actually a fair distance. I walked 30-40 minutes each way and that was the closest I could find. Everyone drives in LA, I didn't realise why until I got there: distances are huge. Personally, I would say the UCLA campus at Westwood is too far.

Also, since you will be working crazy hours, you will not want to spend much of that time commuting. Even on the dossiest inpatient service, if you have patients your day will start at like half 6 at the latest. I did a sub-internship where you are literally treated as an intern (far far from the UK joke that is like an assistant FY1 etc that basically means shadow the house officer), you will have members of your own team passing the phone over when nurses call you about the patient, you will speak to patients, coordinate with the other consult teams etc...I gave myself 20 minutes per patient towards the end of my rotation to see, examine, write up the morning note and get to the next patient and I usually had 3-4 patients. This all had to be done before 7.30 or 8AM, can't remember.

You'll be knackered, but it will be dead fun! Make sure you find somewhere close!!
