Thank you for considering UC San Diego!
WEM meets quarterly for social activities such as hiking, painting, picnics, book club, kayaking, etc. to encourage friendship and informal mentorship between the faculty, fellows, and residents. We host “meet and greet” events with visiting grand rounds speakers with the intent to create an informal environment where women in the UCSD Department of Emergency Medicine can learn from one another, and from our speakers. Speakers who visit our department as guest speakers possess a wealth of knowledge and breadth of personal and professional experiences, which are an invaluable resource for all of us, regardless of career stage.
Informal WEM events occur quarterly and have included painting, book club, and combined EM/IM panel discussions.
Our UCSD Hillcrest location is a part of the neighborhood that stands as San Diego's LGBTQ+ central hub. UCSD is highly supportive of LGBTQ+ patients, faculty, residents and staff, and we include LGBTQ+ related health Issues in our curriculum. Topics have included implicit bias, HIV and STIs, transgender healthcare, and psycho-social aspects of the LGBTQ+ experience related to disproportionate healthcare outcomes.
UCSD DEM faculty and residents are involved in several UCSD initiatives, including the Chancellor’s LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee, our very own UCSD DEM Diversity Committee, and Underrepresented in Medicine events.
We encourage LGBTQ+ applicants to join our family and welcome you to explore UCSD’s LGBTQ+ Resource Center.
