Junior Faculty Diversity Award
Cardiology Hospitalist
The Cardiology Hospitalist Service (CHS) is a collaborative service involving the Division of Hospital Medicine and the Division of Cardiology at UCSF. Cardiology hospitalists rotate between 5 different shifts on 2 distinct services: Advanced Heart Failure service (day and night coverage) and the General Cardiology service (day, swing, and night coverage).
The Advanced Heart Failure (AHF) service day hospitalist provides inpatient care to patients who have advanced heart failure and pulmonary hypertension, and those who are pre- and post-heart transplantation. The cardiologists and hospitalist round on patients together and make medical decisions collaboratively in a co-management model. On the night shift, the hospitalist cross-covers and admits new patients to Advanced Heart Failure as well as the Advanced Lung Disease and Cardiology Procedures services.
The hospitalist roles on the General Cardiology service involves working collaboratively with the other members of the general Cardiology team, including cardiology attendings, fellows, residents, and APPs, to ensure outstanding medical and cardiac care for patients. Hospitalists on the General Cardiology day shift provide direct care and act as the primary attending for a cohort of patients. They collaborate on the care of these patients directly with the consult cardiologist. During the swing and night shifts, the hospitalist is responsible for new admissions and cross-coverage of the patients on the service (including hospitalist, APP, and resident teams).

Hematologic Malignancy, Bone Marrow Transplant, and Cellular Therapy (HBC) Hospitalist
The UCSF HBC (hematologic malignancy, bone marrow transplant, and cellular therapy) service is a collaborative service involving the Division of Hospital Medicine and the Division of Hematology/Oncology at UCSF. The service provides care to inpatients requiring bone marrow transplant or management of malignancies of the hematopoietic system (“liquid tumors”). The service admits approximately 1200 patients per year.
Created in July 2007, the HBC Service is staffed with a unique hybrid model involving collaborative care provided by both hospitalists and oncology faculty. The hospitalists on the HBC service are physicians trained in Internal Medicine who manage the day-to- day care of the patients while the oncology physicians provide the necessary oncologic expertise. The service is organized in teams involving an oncologist, a hospitalist, and a nurse practitioner.
The service is dedicated to providing the highest quality, safest, equitable, and most compassionate and patient-centered care. The HBC Service thrives on a team model, where nurses, pharmacists, and physicians work closely together to maximize patient-centered care.

Academic Hospitalist Medicine Fellow
The UCSF Hospital Medicine fellowships have been training leaders in hospital medicine for a decade, including several prominent members of the UCSF faculty and that of other major academic institutions in the U.S. and Canada. Candidates must have completed training in internal medicine at the time of fellowship entry. We offer three fellowship types, but this specific application page only applies to the 1-year UCSF Academic Hospital Medicine Fellowship (AHMF). For the application process on the other two types of fellowship, go to: https://ucsfhealthhospitalmedicine.ucsf.edu/fellowship-programs.
Individuals pursuing academic hospitalist careers but who do not aspire to grant-funded, largely protected time research oriented fellowships are appropriate for the UCSF AHMF. This one year fellowship is designed to teach hospitalists key skills in leadership, quality improvement, patient safety, curricular development, and medical education and teaching. The fellows spend about one-third of the year on clinical services including the main teaching service and the night hospitalist service (both teaching roles). All fellows enroll in a UCSF class which provides a basic introduction to clinical research. There is ample time to work on multiple projects and all fellows complete a project suitable for presentation and publication
