IHPS emphasizes team-based, interdisciplinary research that impacts policy and practice. Fellows receive mentorship and feedback from health policy faculty at IHPS and participate in joint training activities with UCSF clinical fellows developing clinician-investigator careers. Fellows advance and develop their own research agendas within this dynamic environment of didactics and practice.We are committed to excellence in teaching and mentoring.Studies show that the strongest predictor of success during fellowship is a dedicated research mentor. Mentorship is available from IHPS faculty and throughout UCSF.

The fields in which we have particularly deep expertise include gender and reproductive health, children’s and adolescent health, care of aging populations, social and industrial determinants of health, health workforce, substance use and mental health, and digital health. Our faculty use many methods in their research including survey research, analyses of administrative data such as Medicare/Medicaid, qualitative studies, studies using electronic health records, community-embedded research, and implementation science.We believe that the single most important aspect of a health policy fellowship is the experience of designing and conducting research projects under the guidance of a dedicated and outstanding mentor. We begin the process of identifying suitable research mentors for each candidate during the application and interview process and make every effort to connect each candidate with a variety of faculty members with similar interests and expertise. We place great emphasis on finding a good match between the fellow and the mentor that includes a common research interest as well as a complementary style that will foster the most productive working relationship.Works in Progress and SeminarsOur works-in-progress (WIP) seminars provide an opportunity for fellows to present their research and progress to their peers and an interdisciplinary group of faculty in a supportive environment. These sessions allow fellows to both learn from and teach their peers, and the environment is relaxed and open; all types and levels of questions are encouraged.
