Journeys, Representation, and Coming Home: Reflections from UCSF Match Day 2023 |
|
|
|
On a brisk Friday morning, the sound of envelopes ripping open and shouts of joy could be heard from Koret Quad on UCSF’s Mission Bay campus in San Francisco. Serendipitously falling on St. Patrick’s Day, this year’s Match Day celebrated 184 soon-to-be UCSF graduates, as they found out where they would be continuing their medical training journey in residency.
This year, two-thirds of students matched into residency programs in the state of California, with one-third of students matching at UCSF. A quarter matched into Internal Medicine; 37% matched into primary care specialties; and 30% matched into surgical specialties.

CCEP Approved Third Entry Point for MSTP Program
MSTP students may now return to clinical studies in September, as well as January or May. This new option will shorten the overall training period for some MSTP students by up to eight months.
The mission of the MSTP is to train the next generation of physician-investigators by offering a rigorous, integrated, and supportive educational experience leading to both the MD and PhD degrees.

Did you know a new season of The Spark: Medical Education for Curious Minds, a podcast presenting the people and stories behind medical education at the UCSF School of Medicine and our community of learners, launched late last year?
Hosts Chloe Sales (MS2) and Paul Brandfonbrener (MS1) present guests with the question: Where do you find joy, meaning, or purpose in your work?
In this season's fourth episode, Paul speaks with Shieva Khayam-Bashi, MD Professor of Family and Community Medicine. Dr. Khayam-Bashi is the faculty lead for the Compassionate Care elective, an opportunity for first- and second-year students in all of UCSF professional schools can learn from guest speakers who share lectures, stories, clinical pearls, and personal experiences to promote discussions for deeper understanding and skill-building in communication, engagement, compassion, and connection with patients.
