UCSF Student Leadership Program in Social EM and Health Equity
The UCSF Department of Emergency Medicine welcomes medical students interested in completing a six-week summer immersion program in our emergency department. The UCSF Student Leadership Program in Social EM and Health Equity (aka UCSF EM Summer Fellowship) is open to early-career medical students who have completed their first year of medical school.
The goal of this fellowship is to foster interest in the field of emergency medicine to medical students by providing individualized mentorship, hands-on clinical experience, and research and academic opportunities. Our aim is to provide students with clinical and research experience that will help them develop into advocates for social change. This fellowship is a program that is committed to improving the care of medically and economically disadvantaged communities. Students do not need to identify as being a part of one of these communities in order to apply.
This fellowship is open to all medical students enrolled in LCME-accredited institutions who have completed their first year of medical school, and have an interest in emergency medicine. Attention will be placed to applicants' prior and planned service activities to improving the care of medically and economically disadvantaged populations locally and nationally.
The UCSF Department of Emergency Medicine strives to widen perspectives in medicine and engage ideas that are in alignment with the UCSF Pride Values and the UCSF Principles of Community. In accordance with Federal and State law and University policy, the University of California does not discriminate on the basis of age, gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, health or disability.
