Description
The San Francisco VA Medical Center (SFVAMC) and UCSF offer a Veterans Administration-sponsored, two-year advanced postdoctoral fellowship in women’s health. The program provides focused, structured, mentored research training across diverse disciplines for researchers committed to careers investigating women’s health. Its research addresses the unique challenges facing women veterans and seeks to improve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of relevant health issues.
Fellows conduct research and writing under senior faculty supervision, analyze pre-collected data, disseminate findings, design new research projects, and contribute to ongoing studies. Training includes access to didactic courses, experiential learning, and multidisciplinary mentoring. Research spans traumatic stress and its biological mechanisms, sex differences, reproductive health and aging, and chronic physical health conditions.
