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 recruit students from diverse backgrounds and to provide them 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 equitable care of historically underserved communities.
This fellowship is open to 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 on (but not limited to) the following: low socioeconomic status, distance traveled to a career in medicine, and other lived experiences valuable to improving the care of historically disadvantaged populations locally and nationally.
