Fellows' College

Our department is also proud of the extensive support we provide through Fellows' College, a program of professional development workshops for UCSF pediatric fellows in the areas of career development, research, teaching, education and leadership. The primary goal is the provision of specific information and skills to fellows so they become competent to navigate the complex world of academic medicine from fellowship through the early years of an academic career. Fellows’ College was developed to enhance the individual educational and professional development experiences that are available as part of their respective subspecialty training programs.

Scholarship Oversight Committee

Each fellow is provided with a Scholarship Oversight Committee (SOC), which meets annually with each fellow to review goals. Similar to a thesis committee in graduate school, the SOC provides a formal annual review of scholarly work of each fellow to ensure that they are on track to be eligible for board certification. The review includes review of each fellow’s Individual Development Plan (IDP), curriculum vitae, and scholarly work products. To learn more, follow the link to the SOC home page.
