The UCSF Hospital Medicine fellowships have been training leaders in hospital medicine for a decade, including several prominent members of the UCSF faculty and that of other major academic institutions in the U.S. and Canada. Candidates must have completed training in internal medicine at the time of fellowship entry. We offer three fellowship types, but this specific application page only applies to the 1-year UCSF Academic Hospital Medicine Fellowship (AHMF) . For the application process on the other two types of fellowship, go to:

Individuals pursuing academic hospitalist careers but who do not aspire to grant-funded, largely protected time research oriented fellowships are appropriate for the UCSF AHMF. This one year fellowship is designed to teach hospitalists key skills in leadership, quality improvement, patient safety, curricular development, and medical education and teaching. The fellows spend about one-third of the year on clinical services including the main teaching service and the night hospitalist service (both teaching roles). All fellows enroll in a UCSF class which provides a basic introduction to clinical research. There is ample time to work on multiple projects and all fellows complete a project suitable for presentation and publication

The goal of the fellowship is to train the next generation of hospitalist program directors, quality improvement and patient safety leaders, and directors of clinical education programs for students, residents, and fellow hospitalists. The UCSF AHMF is ideal for graduating residents or early career hospitalists who anticipate careers as clinician-educators or clinician-administrators in a teaching hospital setting.

The AHMF will provide fellows with training in teaching skills, curriculum design, quality improvement, and leadership through a structured curriculum tailored to suit individual interests. AHMF Fellows will participate in a series of core and elective activities detailed below; fellows will be encouraged to select an area of interest and specific opportunities in advance. All fellows will also attend monthly Fellows' Works-in-Progress sessions, weekly Division of Hospital Medicine meetings, and regular mentoring meetings. For additional information on the AHMF core experiences and training, go to:
