Education Subcommittee

Students and educators at a Diversity Celebration event

The primary purpose of the Diversity Committee’s Education Subcommittee is to facilitate, sponsor, and promote diversity-related programming to increase awareness of diversity and health equity among faculty, residents, interns, and staff in the department. The subcommittee fulfills this aim by sponsoring Grand Rounds events that increase awareness of diversity issues, sponsoring the annual Evelyn Lee Visiting Scholar Lectureship in Cultural Competence and Diversity, and disseminating information through the Diversity Committee's website to increase cultural competence in research and clinical practice.

Cultural Psychiatry Area of Distinction curriculum

The UCSF Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences has been a leader in cultural psychiatry education for several decades. Specifically, the UCSF Adult Psychiatry Residency Training Program has a Cultural Psychiatry Area of Distinction (AoD), which focuses on how to better serve underrepresented minorities. In addition, there are several clinical experiences where residents can gain expertise treating certain sub-populations, specifically women, LGBT, and minority populations via culturally focused teams. In addition, the UCSF School of Medicine has electives for medical students to gain exposure to cultural psychiatry.
