Announcing the UCSF-SFGH Emergency Medicine Residency Class of 2017 and our Chief Residents for 2013-2014, Dr. Nick Villalon (pictured at left) and Dr. Dina Wallin. See the list of our new interns.
At the February 15, 2013, meeting, the Residency Review Committee for Emergency Medicine accredited the UCSF/SFGH EM Fellowship in Emergency Medical Services. This will enable graduates of the program to be eligible to sit for the EMS Medicine board exam upon completion of their training at UCSF. Our current Fellow, Dr. Katie Tataris, will transition next year into the accredited Fellowship program and is expected to be our first graduate of this new track for EMS training.
The Irene Perstein Award is awarded each year by the School of Medicine to an outstanding newly recruited junior woman clinician scientist. The recipient of the 2012 award is Dr. Maria Raven, Assistant Clinical Professor, who joined the Department of Emergency Medicine as a faculty researcher in July 2011. She is currently the PI on a research project funded by the Emergency Medicine Foundation to study emergency department payment policies and is participating in an effort funded by the Corporation for Supportive Housing and led by San Francisco Housing and Urban Health and the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation to provide supportive housing for high cost SFHP members who are homeless. In September 2012, Dr. Raven was awarded funding from AHRQ in collaboration with Stanford, the lead applicant, to define indicators of community-level health (e.g., access to care, health education, behaviors, disease burden) using the ED as a window to the health of a community.
