UCSF School of Medicine recently announced the appointment of Erick K. Hung, MD, as Associate Dean for Students, effective July 1, 2022.  

The application period is now open for the Teaching Scholars Program (TSP); a year-long program sponsored by the UCSF Center for Faculty Educators (CFE). This program is ideal for faculty members who wish to make education their primary area of responsibility (e.g., course and clinical leadership, educational committee participants) and/or scholarship. Graduates of TSP often become education leaders and scholars at UCSF.

You are invited to celebrate the graduation of the Teaching Scholars Program (TSP) Class of 2021 at an informal ceremony, along with Dean Talmadge King. Seventeen faculty members will have completed this year’s Teaching Scholars Program. These faculty members have acquired knowledge and skills related to teaching, leadership, and educational research this year.

We hope you can join us to support and congratulate these faculty members upon their graduation:

Katherine Hyland, PhD, is one of the recipients of UCSF's 2020 Academic Senate Distinction in Teaching Award and receives the award in the category of "faculty at UCSF for more than five years." Dr. Hyland, PhD, is an adjunct professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the School of Medicine, a member of UCSF's Institute for Human Genetics, and Director of the Medical Genetics Theme in the School of Medicine curriculum.

Carrie Chen was my chief resident when I started as a pediatric resident at UCSF in 1998. We both had been UCSF medical students as well. I don’t know when the term “UCSF Lifer” officially kicks in, but I would say we both fit that definition. While I could talk to Carrie about her important and eye-opening research in workplace-based assessments (see her keynote for the AME Celebration of New Members), I was really curious to know, “Is there life after UCSF?”

Patricia O’Sullivan, EdD; Ann Poncelet, MD; and Sandrijn van Schaik, MD, PhD are excited to share with you highlights of 2019 initiatives for the Center for Faculty Educators. A major focus of these initiatives is the learning environment, as the impact of the environments in which we learn and work on educational outcomes and well-being has attracted the attention of educators at UCSF and beyond. 

The Center for Faculty Educators invites members of the UCSF education community to apply for the 2019-2020 Teaching Scholars Program (TSP). Graduates of TSP often become health professions education leaders and scholars at UCSF and beyond.

The Center for Faculty Educators (CFE) is proud to present UCSF's 18th Annual Education Showcase, an event that highlights the scholarly work of UCSF faculty, residents, and students, and encourages continued evaluation and dissemination of this work. This event is filled with opportunities for faculty development and to see the variety and quality of the work in which our UCSF colleagues are engaged throughout the year.
