Our Sites
San Francisco
In addition to nurse and physician fellows/scholars, our site also includes fellows/scholars from Clinical psychology and Pharmacy.
Faculty at our VAQS site are sought after for mentorship, particularly for academic careers, geriatrics and palliative care research, research and innovative models of care for people with multimorbidity and quality improvement in mental health.
Fellows come to our VAQS site to gain an expertise in study design and research methodology, implementation science and clinical program evaluation.
Our alumni are healthcare leaders in a wide variety of settings. SF-VAQS alumni hold leadership positions at VAs (San Francisco VA, Puget Sound VA), numerous academic medical centers (UCSF, University of Calgary, Harvard-MGH), Public health systems (Denver Health, Los Angeles Care Health Plan), Schools of Nursing (UCSF, University of Virginia) as well as the non-profit organizations (American Association of Retired Persons).
