Teaching Scholars Program Graduation 2024: Building Our Scholarly Community

On September 10, the UCSF education community was invited to the final presentations of the graduating 2024 Teaching Scholars, who presented their scholarly work in education as an mini-orals format. The graduates' presentations highlighted unique and key educational research and showcased projects across all UCSF schools.

The Teaching Scholars Program (TSP) is a yearlong program in health professions education and education scholarship. It is accessible to faculty from all UCSF professional schools through a competitive application process. The graduates go on to enrich their learning environments with their new knowledge and have helped the incoming class of new scholars recognize that they are linked to a long UCSF tradition of valuing the role of educators and education scholarship to enhance learning.
