Kaiser Family Foundation Fellowship

UCSF’s Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies has established a yearlong health policy research fellowship for medical students in cooperation with the Kaiser Family Foundation. The Kaiser Family Foundation is a leading national health policy organization which conducts and disseminates health policy research findings to inform health policy decision-making. Its headquarters are in downtown San Francisco, and they also have a satellite office in Washington, D.C. Information about the Kaiser Family Foundation’s work on health care coverage, access to care, health care costs, women’s health, HIV care, global health, and a variety of other health policy topics.

As a part of the fellowship, students are embedded within projects underway or planned at the Kaiser Family Foundation. They are co-mentored by Kaiser Family Foundation staff and UCSF faculty members. Students would be expected to be based in the San Francisco location but may have opportunities through their work with the Kaiser Family Foundation to participate in activities in Washington, D.C. as well. There is funding for up to two students per year.
