Teaching Scholars Program Welcomes Class of 2024 - 2025

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.

The application and selection process strives to select a cohort of teaching scholars that reflects diversity with respect to specialty, race/ethnicity, gender and other identities and seeks applicants from a range of backgrounds and with educational experiences across the continuum of health professions education.
