UCSF Primary Care Research Fellowship

The UCSF Department of Family and Community Medicine has, since 1998, offered two-year full time fellowships for individuals wishing to prepare for careers that will include research in the field of Family Medicine. Beginning in 2008, we joined forces with the UCSF Division of General Internal Medicine to create a new joint Primary Care Research Fellowship to provide a broader range of research and training opportunities for fellows, as well as a larger critical mass of fellows with whom to work.

Family physicians participating in the joint program will also have additional activities unique to family medicine, including

  • Patient care and teaching at one of our department's clinical sites
  • Participation in the monthly Family Medicine Department Research Seminar
  • Semiannual review sessions with DFCM research faculty giving personalized feedback to each fellow on progress and career planning
  • The opportunity to collaborate on research projects with family physician mentors

The UCSF Primary Care Research Fellowship offers a unique opportunity for recent family medicine graduates interested in pursuing a career that includes research. UCSF has one of the top academic departments of family medicine in the country with a very strong research program located in one of the world's premier academic medical centers.
