Looking Ahead
Respiratory season is upon us and by now you should have gotten your flu shot and hopefully a bivalent COVID booster. All faculty are reminded to upload their outside vaccines on the Occupational Health Portal.

I had the pleasure of attending the California Medical Association House of Delegates as part of a new UC delegation of the Academic Practice Forum. It was an important meeting where we addressed healthcare reform, reproductive health and other important topics. We were reminded of why advocacy is so important. Jack Resnick, UCSF Chair of Dermatology and President of the AMA gave a wonderful presentation.

What’s new in the CMO’s office?

Also, as of November 1st we now have some updates to the Medical Staff Office (MSO) Barbara Laders-Barrett is now Interim Director of the MSO. Additionally, we have joined forces with a major efficiency called a Credential Verification Organization (CVO) which allows new and reappointing faculty to use one portal for verifications. The full roll-out will be in January 2023.
Thanks to the APEX team we have some new efficiencies going live later this month following the November 15th upgrade for In Basket and Result handling.
Just a plug that VOALTE is now our standard compliant provider communication tool. Please check out the tip-sheet specific to your service.
Let's see this through!

UCSF Faculty Development Day 2022
In case you missed it please check out the website and link noted in the message from Irene Merry:
I wanted to draw your attention to the Faculty Development 2022 materials that are now posted on our website.
These includes-slide decks, handouts and videos of the plenary sessions. Additionally, there is a comprehensive list of campus resources that are invaluable for all faculty
Although over 170 faculty members (mainly newly appointees) attended the sessions we do understand that due to various conflicts others could not, so wanted to ensure that these materials were available and distributed as widely as possibly.
Please contact Irene.Merry@ucsf.edu if you have any questions.

Release of the UCSF Changemaker Series | |
|
The UCSF Changemaker Series, created by Professor of Medicine Hilary Seligman, MD, MAS, is a four-part video series that seeks to build the capacity of UCSF researchers to generate scientific evidence that is responsive to the needs of real-world decision-makers. Each 10-15 minute video highlights a UCSF researcher in conversation with an interdisciplinary panel of non-academic experts discussing how investigators at all stages of their careers can more meaningfully inform policies, systems, and structures in order to create social or policy change.

DEI Co-Chair BCH Oakland
Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics, UCSF School of Medicine

The focus of the BCH Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Initiative is to dismantle systemic racism within BCH by taking action to insure that policies, institutional practices, cultural representations and other norms no longer reinforce and perpetuate racial group inequity for Blacks, Indigenous and People of Color. Patients and families and other groups in the workforce, including LGBTQ+ are negatively impacted within the current problematic climate. For more information, please feel free to reach out to me, our program manager Henry Ocampo at henry.ocampo@ucsf.edu, or visit our website https://diversitybch.ucsf.edu/.
