Overview
​​
The Division of Pediatric Pulmonary, Cystic Fibrosis, and Sleep Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) serves a diverse and underserved patient population across Northern California. Our multidisciplinary team provides family-centered, comprehensive, coordinated, evidence-based, and culturally sensitive care for children and youth with special health care needs, frequently in collaboration with state Title V-supported agencies like California Children's Services.
​​
Purpose
​​
The UCSF Pediatric Pulmonary Center (PPC) strives to recruit and train a diverse group of trainees who will become the future Maternal and Child Health (MCH) leaders in pediatric pulmonary and sleep medicine and embody the Core MCH Leadership Competencies.
​
Training
​
We will train at least 5 long-term, 20 medium-term, and 40 short-term trainees each year. Trainees will be recruited from the following core MCH disciplines: pediatric pulmonary medicine, nursing, nutrition, social work, and pharmacy.
We intend to provide a rigorous, broadly inclusive, and supportive training environment that:
-
Develops superior clinical, analytical, and leadership skills with an emphasis on family-centered, comprehensive, coordinated, evidence-based, and culturally sensitive care
-
Stimulates intellectual curiosity and critical thinking by offering a broad range of scholarly and quality improvement opportunities
-
Fosters individual passions by providing personalized support and effective mentorship
