ViSiPAP is a reciprocal pediatric anesthesia exchange program that started in 2017 at UCSF. It has since expanded nationally to include more than 25 pediatric anesthesia divisions.
Program goals include:
- Creating extramural opportunities for networking, collaborating and sponsorship
- Expanding the community of practice in pediatric anesthesia
- Increasing academic activity to improve promotion and retention rates for junior faculty
- Assisting the transition of fellows from trainees to engaged and productive faculty
- Promoting gender equity and URM individuals in pediatric anesthesia
Types of Exchanges include:
- In Person Faculty
- In Person Fellow/Faculty
- Virtual Faculty
- Virtual Fellow/Faculty
Exchanges are especially designed for junior faculty nearing promotion and fellows with an interest in academic medicine. Fellow/faculty exchanges provide additional mentorship opportunities.
