The Jonathan Rodnick Colloquium is UCSF Family & Community Medicine’s annual showcase of scholarly, educational, clinical, and community-engaged work. Honoring Dr. Rodnick’s legacy of mentorship, collaboration, and health equity, the event brings together faculty, residents, fellows, students, staff, community partners, and members of the FCM Alliance. Through oral presentations, posters, and interactive sessions, participants share innovations that advance primary care and community health. The Colloquium strengthens connections, highlights emerging leaders, and celebrates the collective work that drives our mission.
The Opening Plenary
What does it really mean to co-create health care with patients and communities—and where do we fall short?

Grounded in real experiences, the session will invite participants to reflect, contribute, and explore how co-creation can shape more responsive, equitable care and training environments.

Support the Rodnick Colloquium
Former FCM Chair Jack Rodnick dedicated his life to improving medical education and serving UCSF faculty members and students and the greater San Francisco Bay Area community. We can think of no better way to honor his memory and years of dedicated service than to have his name and life’s work memorialized by the colloquium and by creating a grants program to assist individuals to take their initial steps as scholars in family medicine. Please consider helping us to honor Jack’s legacy by contributing to this important educational event.
