Fellowship Program Overview
The School of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco offers
a fellowship to physicians who wish to subspecialize in Infectious Diseases.
The minimum program is two years, but three years are strongly recommended.
The first year is devoted to training in clinical Infectious Diseases. An intensive
didactic core curriculum, which includes core microbiology didactic sessions,
is covered in the first two weeks of the program. Thereafter, fellows rotate
for six weeks at each of the three affiliated UCSF hospitals (U.C. Moffitt-Long
Hospitals, San Francisco General Hospital, and the Veteran Affairs Medical Center)
to manage the Infectious Diseases Consult Service under the supervision of an
attending physician. Residents and students in medicine and pharmacy also staff
the consultation services. Fellows participate in a didactic teaching conference
and a weekly Diagnostic Microbiology conference at each of the hospitals in
conjunction with faculty and fellows from the Pediatric Infectious Diseases
Program. Attendance at the Infectious Diseases Clinic, monthly meetings of the
Infection Control Committee, and participation in the Bay Area Infectious Diseases
Society is also a part of the program. A continuity clinic is maintained a half
day a week throughout the first two years of training.
The second and third years are devoted to research in the fellow's area of
interest under the guidance of a faculty preceptor at one of the three hospitals.
Research training opportunities in basic laboratory research (many with an emphasis
in molecular biology techniques) are available in a number of laboratories within
the Infectious Diseases program or in laboratories closely associated with the
program. Research opportunities that focus on epidemiological methods and population
and/or clinical studies are also available through a number of programs at UCSF,
offering the opportunity for Master's degree training in Epidemiology. Fellows
wishing to become independent investigators, regardless of their area of research,
should anticipate two to four years of training beyond the first year.
Research interests of the faculty are very diverse and range from molecular
and cell biology to epidemiology and clinical trials.
You can apply to our fellowship program through ERAS (starting in December 2007). Deadline for completed application and all letters of recommendation
is January 14, 2008.
