The Pathways to Discovery Program (PTD) is an innovative program allowing motivated learners to develop the knowledge, skills, and experience to contribute to health beyond the care of individual patients. The five pathways represent areas of specialization including health research, curriculum and education theory development, policy and advocacy, and other interventions to improve health on a global scale.
The general format for each pathway includes a mentored project designed and executed in collaboration with a UCSF faculty member, a curriculum designed to prepare learners for independent work and leadership, and the creation of a legacy that provides lasting value to the UCSF community.
These pathways can be done concurrently with your anesthesiology residency, and are fully supported by the program. For more information, please visit the School of Medicine Pathways to Discovery website.
