Center for Advancing Scholarship in Education

The UCSF School of Medicine Center for Advancing Scholarship in Education (CASE) is a unified, visible hub that elevates UCSF’s longstanding productivity in education scholarship and the community of health professions education scholars.

By bringing together education science scholarship, scholarship training, and advanced degree programs, CASE creates a coordinated structure that:

• Embraces a comprehensive view of education scholarship
• Supports and mentors emerging education scholars
• Strengthens interdisciplinary collaboration across UCSF and beyond
• Advances education science translation that improves teaching, learning, and the preparation of future physician-leaders

• Advanced Training and Degree Programs, including the UCSF–UMC Utrecht Health Professions Education PhD program and the Master’s in Education with UC Berkeley
