Message from the Associate Dean - BCH Oakland
April 2023
| |
|
April is here and Spring has sprung!
April is also Autism Awareness Month. On March 30th
we celebrated Doctors' Day with a launch of “Getting Together” funds, and a special congratulations to all the BCH 2022-2023 Exceptional Physician award winners with an extra shout out to Coleen Sabatini, MD, MPH and Elizabeth Gibb, MD!
Effective April 3rd, wearing masks is now optional, but recommended, in all areas except those where patients are present, including elevators and lobbies where clinical services are provided. In a phased approach, UCSF is requiring masks for patient spaces. All other restrictions are lifted. One should complete COVID testing in the face of symptoms. As always- use common sense.
The BCH All-faculty series will launch this month with an All-Faculty Meeting on April 27th from 5:00-6:00 PM focused on Academic Affairs. We will follow up with a launch of the monthly BCH Faculty Seminar Series beginning on May 11th to discuss "Space at BCH Oakland."
Be well,
Kelley

Dear School of Medicine Colleagues,
As winter starts to recede, thoughts turn to warmer days and the need to embark on the traditional “spring cleaning”. While that’s usually an at-home affair, it should also apply to our important employee engagement, data integrity, and compliance initiatives.
In that spirit, this week you will receive a series of emails from me and other members of the UCSF School of Medicine leadership team regarding surveys, data entry, and compliance training requests that require your attention and participation.
These requests are being made to help ensure that the School of Medicine is an inclusive, safe, and ethical environment, and to protect and advance our mission. Thank you in advance for your thoughtful participation and for helping drive positive change at UCSF.
Sincerely,
Talmadge E. King, Jr., MD
Dean, UCSF School of Medicine

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.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, & INCLUSION, and
ANTI-RACISM at UCSF BCH
| |

From Marsha J. Treadwell, PhD
DEI Co-Chair BCH Oakland
Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics, UCSF School of Medicine
Jordan Fund Endowed Chair, Department of Hematology/Oncology

|
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/.
