The Division of Adolescent Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco is pleased to announce recruitment for one position in our Adolescent Medicine Fellowship beginning July 2027. Our fellowship provides a rigorous, supportive academic environment for trainees pursuing careers as leaders in Adolescent Medicine and we encourage anyone interested in pursuing fellowship to apply.
The program emphasizes the need for expertise in caring for the complex medical problems of adolescents and young adults. As fellows spend time in our Adolescent & Young Adult Clinic, on our inpatient consultative service and inpatient eating disorder service, and a variety of community-based electives, they are exposed to a wide range of medical conditions facing adolescents and young adults, including reproductive issues, substance abuse, sports medicine, mental health, and eating disorders.
In addition to providing a strong clinical curriculum, UCSF is the top public recipient of NIH research funding for the 6th consecutive year, and we provide rigorous training in research. The fellowship offers formal coursework through the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and the Fellows’ College of the Department of Pediatrics. Research mentoring begins from day one of the fellowship, and research progress is overseen from within the division and by the Scholarship Oversight Committee.
Our multidisciplinary faculty currently consists of nine physicians (7 pediatricians and 1 Internal Medicine/Pediatrician, and 1 Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist/Pediatrician), 4 psychologists, 1 nutritionist, 1 social worker, 2 Doctors of Public Health, 1 nurse, and 1 nurse/biostatistician. In addition, we have associated faculty members in psychiatry, public health, addiction medicine, and sports medicine. Our faculty has been in leadership positions in every facet of adolescent medicine, both nationally and internationally, since the late 1970s.
Guided by a commitment to extraordinary health-equity focused patient care, innovative research, wellness, and inclusivity, our ultimate goal is to graduate physicians who will advance adolescent health through compassionate care, scholarship, and advocacy — locally, nationally, and globally.
