Dear DHM,

In collaboration with the Social Medicine Core, the Division may, on occasion, make official comments about policies, proposals, legislation, initiatives, etc. which may potentially impact our patient population or our ability to provide high-quality, safe, effective, and equitable care. These comments will be sent to the Division by email and posted on the website. When appropriate, we may write formal letters to key stakeholders.

Thank you Stephanie Rennke, Katie Raffel, and Peter Barish for your work with the PRIME residents. Stephanie led an interactive workshop on how to write a clinical vignette. Katie and Peter facilitated the PRIME clinical reasoning simulations.

DHM Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC) hosted their first meeting on September 26th. PFAC will meet every 4-6 weeks and consists of former patients and their family members. The group is excited to begin partnering with DHM to offer their unique perspective and creative ideas to improve the work they are doing every day.

Katie Raffel is a new member of the UCSF Health Learning Health System Coaches for 2018-2020.

Congratulations to Adeena Khan, Katie Raffel, and Sneha Daya who received the Academy of Medical Educators Excellence in Teaching Award.
