RIDR is a research and academic career development program funded by the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging and developed by the department's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee. We provide unique research experiences and focused mentorship to students from diverse backgrounds. Our goal is to provide an early opportunity for students to explore radiology as a career choice and support the next wave of innovation in our field.

This is a annual celebration and internationally observed on October 11. UCSF community members come together and share their stories of coming out.

International Transgender Day of Visibility is dedicated to celebrating and recognizing the accomplishments of transgender people around the world.

This innovative program, started in 2009, educates students and providers about healthcare disparities faced by members of the LGBTQI community. Specialists in LGBTQI healthcare are brought together to discuss a wide range of topics including transgender health, bisexual invisibility, lesbian health, intersex awareness, gay men's health, youth and aging issues, and LGBTQI parenting. Attendees are given the opportunity to interact with specialists through small breakout sessions and panel discussions featuring community professionals and patients. The forum includes several opportunities for professional networking and is offered as elective credit for current UCSF students.

An evening event to acknowledge the accomplishments of the LGBTQ Community at UCSF.

Strategic Opportunities Support (SOS) seeks to advance clinical and translational research at UCSF by providing funding resources to catalyze research and career development activities in clinical and translational sciences.

CTRFP is a yearlong pre-doctoral training program open to students in UCSF School of Medicine, School of Nursing, School of Pharmacy and School of Dentistry. The program provides training and mentorship to pre-doctoral students in clinical and translational research methodology and practice. Students who wish to participate must take a year off from their studies and commit one year (July-June) to clinical and translational research work under the guidance of a UCSF mentor. The program is also available to medical students outside of UCSF through the Doris Duke International Clinical Research Fellowship (details can be found here: CTR Fellowship Programs International Research). Funding for this yearlong program is available to students through RAPtr and Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.

Learning Resource Services (LRS; within the Office of Student Academic Affairs): LRS is available to all students via individual student appointments, school-specific workshops, and small group appointments with students who study together informally. LRS' primary areas of support are for: (1) Students who want/need to maximize their learning in academically and clinically rigorous environments; (2) Students with disabilities; and (3) Students might find that the learning strategies which served them well in the undergrad environment are no longer a good fit at the Health Sciences Professional School level.
