Fellow's College

Each year, the Department of Pediatrics, through its Committee on Professional Development, sponsors three meetings for all Pediatric Subspecialty Fellows. The purposes of these meetings are to orient the Fellows to UCSF, assist in transition to Fellowship, and prepare the Fellows for future careers in academic medicine. These all-day workshops also address issue of common concern to all trainees (preparing a manuscript, applying for grants, giving presentations, career planning, job searching, etc…) and constitute part of a Core Curriculum designed especially for all Pediatric sub-specialty fellows.

Appointment

Fellows are selected form applicants based on their record of previous training, their letters of recommendation, their commitment to an academic career and the availability of a research mentor at UCSF who is appropriate for the applicant’s research interests.
