Working with UCSF, California Surgeon General Aims to Cut Adverse Childhood Experiences by Half in One Generation
|
|
|
|
Nadine Burke Harris, the first surgeon general of California, is working with researchers and leaders across UCSF to
cut adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) by 50% in one generation. She spoke about her vision and her groundbreaking work to reduce adverse childhood experiences across the state during a speech at the UC San Francisco Parnassus Heights campus. The lecture was part of Chancellor Sam Hawgood’s health policy series, organized by the Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies. Meanwhile, curriculum leaders in the School of Medicine are looking at ways to continue to incorporate this topic into the Bridges Curriculum so that future physicians are prepared to screen for, and address, ACEs in their patient populations.

Recruiting: Inquiry Small Group Facilitators
|
|
|
|
We are seeking facilitators to teach in the 2019-20 Core Inquiry Curriculum (CIC). UCSF medical students first learn what we call the “inquiry habit of mind” in the CIC, to challenge current concepts of health and disease, and with your guidance, to create new knowledge wherever they find a gap. These skills will serve them throughout their lifelong careers in medicine, whether that be in clinical practice, research, or another type of service.
We are currently recruiting for the summer, fall, winter, and spring 2019-20 quarters Preceding each small group there will also be an optional facilitator training. Please contact
Susana Aranas for more information.
