The UCSF Department of Emergency Medicine offers a one or two-year Research Fellowship.

- Demonstrate proficiency in health services research suitable to apply for a mentored clinician scientist level grant (e.g. K series or other funding)
- Be able to explain key principles of health services research
- Demonstrate the ability to teach health services research skills to emergency physicians
- Complete a systematic review in their primary area of interest
- Complete at least one health services research project
- Present at least one research abstract at a national conference
- Complete a first-authored manuscript and submit it to a peer-reviewed journal
Salary and benefits are set by the Department of Emergency Medicine and the University of California annually.
Interested applicants should be graduates of an accredited emergency medicine residency program. Please direct any questions to Dr. Maria Raven, Fellowship Director, and email a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, and 3 letters of recommendation (one of which must be from your residency program director) to Sandra Lieu, Fellowship Coordinator.
