We emphasize tangible research goals. UCSF is a health sciences campus with a mission of advancing health worldwide through its schools of medicine, nursing, dentistry, and pharmacy. IHPS emphasizes team-based, interdisciplinary research that impacts policy and practice. Fellows receive mentorship and feedback from health policy faculty at IHPS and participate in joint training activities with UCSF clinical fellows developing clinician-investigator careers. Fellows advance and develop their own research agendas within this dynamic environment of didactics and practice.
We are committed to excellence in teaching and mentoring. Studies show that the strongest predictor of success during fellowship is a dedicated research mentor. Mentorship is available from IHPS faculty and throughout UCSF. IHPS's more than 160 affiliated faculty are found within all 4 professional schools within UCSF and have a wide variety of areas of expertise. The fields in which we have particularly deep expertise include gender and reproductive health, children's and adolescent health, care of aging populations, social and industrial determinants of health, health workforce, substance use and mental health, and digital health.
Works in Progress and Seminars Our works-in-progress (WIP) seminars provide an opportunity for fellows to present their research and progress to their peers and an interdisciplinary group of faculty in a supportive environment. These sessions allow fellows to both learn from and teach their peers, and the environment is relaxed and open; all types and levels of questions are encouraged.
