Fellowship Experience

The UCSF Endocrine Fellowship program is located in one of the most beautiful and vibrant cities in the world. Below, we highlight a few of the unique opportunities to help our fellows thrive.  

Our annual social events bring together fellows and faculty to create a sense of community and camaraderie.  

Welcome Reception: The annual event in July welcomes our new fellows to UCSF, and brings together faculty and fellows across all sites.  

Annual Fellows Retreat: The annual fellows retreat brings together fellows and faculty from all sites. Pagers and clinical responsibilities are covered by faculty. The event includes fun socializing games, brief research talks and an alumni panel, in addition to breakfast, lunch and time to mingle.  

Fellows Holiday Party: The annual Fellows Holiday Party takes place at the home of one of Endocrine Chiefs, and brings together fellows and faculty, as well as their families. It is a time to mingle, eat, and celebrate the holiday season.    

ENDO Society: The UCSF dinner at the annual ENDO society meeting brings together UCSF Alumni, current fellows and faculty to eat, mingle and enjoy the famous camaraderie of UCSF. Senior fellows are encouraged to present their work; funding for fellow attendance is provided by the Endocrine Division.
