News for our Educator Community | Spring 2020
Many educators are having novel experiences during COVID-19 that they are interested in disseminating. The Center for Faculty Educators (CFE) has created a resource for those interested in disseminating health professions education work related to COVID-19.
The Inquiry Symposium convened online for the first time on April 29, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This physically-distant Zoom option seemed rather fitting for the Class of 2020 – pioneers of the Bridges Curriculum and the scholarly research requirement at UCSF.
UCSF students and staff have galvanized efforts to address the immediate impact of Covid-19 on our local healthcare workfoce and most impacted community members.

UCSF has created a safe space for confidential mental health and referral resources through a new program for UCSF faculty, staff, and trainees experiencing distress related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
