April Showers Bring May Flowers!
The BCH Dean’s Office has relocated to Emeryville. Feel free to reach out if you want to meet in person at the hospital and we will find a place to touch down.
The BCH Associate Dean has a renewed charge for the next couple of years. We will focus on fostering continued collaboration and communication with BCH Oakland-based physicians and UCSF School of Medicine in support of the clinical and academic mission. We will continue to assist academic departments with recruitment and space needs and advocate for improved processes on behalf of the faculty. Many initiatives are forward-facing on our website and recent recordings are available on our website.
Congratulations on a fabulous Match Day! Our expanded pediatric residency will welcome 32 interns this summer.
And congratulations to BCH Oakland-based recipients of the UCSF Health Exceptional Physician Awards! Chau Tai, MD, Alison Reed, MD, Bella Doshi, MD, and Lela Bachrach, MD- you are all amazing. And another congratulations goes to Dayna Long, MD recipient of the 2024 Edison T. Uno Chancellor Award for Public Service.
A couple of reminders:
- Mask mandate is in effect in all patient-facing areas through April 30, 2024.
- The NPS survey is in your inbox as of March 18. Please complete it before April 10th.
-
The 8th Annual UCSF Health Improvement Poster Symposium will be held on Friday, May 31, from 3-5 pm at the Mission Bay Conference Center. See below under announcements.
-
Check your calendars for a wonderful BCH Faculty seminar on May 8th at 5:00 pm (via Zoom) focusing on cross-bay clinical trials.
I hope to see many of you at PAS Toronto May 2-6!

UCSF Summer Student Research Program (SSRP)
We are excited to share a recent publication that evaluated the UCSF Summer Student Research Program (SSRP) and showed the gains we made in scientific identity & engagement with our under-represented learners over an 8-year pre-pandemic period (publication attached). A previous report described how a group of programs including ours successfully transitioned in the COVID era, but this is the first paper to focus solely on SSRP. We feel this is a great progress report on our continuing commitment to health education through a lens of social justice & equity.

Voalte Training for Clinical Communication | |
Voalte is a HIPAA-secure, two-way texting/calling, application that is the primary clinical communications platform for all UCSF Health campuses including BCH Oakland. Communication is key to our daily operations and patient safety. The Voalte solution can help but only if everyone is using the app appropriately. We acknowledge that certain functionality in Voalte requires training and practice, so we are pleased to announce that a new e-learning video is now available to supplement the already released enhanced tip sheet. | |

Held on March 21st
| |
|
This event was held on: March 21, 2024, 3:00 – 5:00 PM PST
Full Faculty Meeting of the UCSF School of Medicine, 2023-2024
Physician Burnout at UCSF: Addressing the Crisis
This was the second of a special three-part town hall series, exploring UCSF’s response to the crisis of faculty physician burnout. We reviewed U.S. academic physician burnout data, got an understanding why UCSF physicians are leaving, and examined the growth of physician unionization nationally. We discussed the important role of organizational leaders in combating burnout and building a clinician wellness-centered culture.

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.
