Scholarly Concentrations and GME Pathways

Our residency program leadership team works with residents to develop individual concentrations for those that are interested.

Scholarly Concentrations

Scholarly Concentrations offer residents the chance to customize their curriculum, focusing on developing expertise in a field of their choice. Each of the scholarly concentrations emphasizes health equity and cultural humility, providing opportunities to advance justice-centered practices tailored to unique patient communities and areas of clinical medicine.

For an area of interest to become a formal scholarly concentration, it should include the following required components:
Clinical Experience
Scholarly Project (quality improvement, research, curriculum development, community engagement)
Education (audience can include community members, fellow residents, students)

Examples of Concentrations include (but are not limited to):

Care for the Newborn/NICU
Care for Justice Impacted Patients
Critical Care/Hospital Medicine
Complex Care/Rehabilitation
Gender Affirming Care
Lifestyle Medicine/Nutrition
Medical Education
Integrative Medicine
Immigrant Health
Integrative Medicine
Racially Concordant Care (e.g. Care for the Black Community, Care for the Latine Community)
Reproductive Justice
School-based Health
Substance Use Disorder

GME Pathways

Residents can also participate in one of the UCSF GME Pathways--a multidisciplinary inter-professional program open to UCSF learners at all training levels.
