Penn's teaching network includes HUP, Penn Presbyterian and Pennsylvania Hospital. The site mix depends on the program: Cardiovascular Disease, for example, names HUP, Penn Presbyterian and the Philadelphia VA as its three primary sites. A health-system affiliation alone does not establish that you will rotate there.

Start with the resource for your training stage. Perelman has a medical-student project database and mentor-finding support. Internal Medicine's Physician Scientist Pathway describes individual mentoring from orientation, followed by a mentoring committee in fellowship. Those are specific access routes, not a promise that every Penn lab has an opening.
