Past Fellows Highly Recommend the Fellowship
Clinicians are taught to diagnose and to treat, they are not taught how to teach. There are specific frameworks, concepts, guidelines, and requirements that are essential for medical teachers to know in order to adequately prepare learners for functioning successfully in medical education.

Family Medicine Physician and Core Faculty, Contra Costa Family Medicine Residency Program
UCSF Family Medicine Faculty Development Fellowship Class of 2022
[The fellowship] really helped me counter a lot of the imposter phenomenon that I was feeling...It left me in a place where essentially by the time I finished the fellowship I really truly in my heart of hearts felt like I belong in academic medicine.
Liana Milanes, MD
Core Faculty, UCSF Fresno Dept. of Family Medicine
Fellowship Class of 2018
I absolutely loved all of the faculty development fellowship but one of the things that was most unexpected for me was learning about the concept of growth versus fixed mindset...
It has transformed my concept of myself what I'm capable of and what I'm able to do as an educator as well as my approach to my learners.
Alison Bacon, MD
Faculty, Sutter Santa Rosa Family Medicine Residency Program
UCSF Family Medicine Faculty Development Fellowship Class of 2020
The fellowship offers us an opportunity to design the impact that we want to have not only on the residents and the medical students with whom we work but also bring that mindfulness to other faculty in our institutions...[It] not only helps us become better teachers but literally contributes to the evolution of medical teaching.
