Predoctoral Training Program. There are six predoctoral positions. The training program's required coursework includes the approved PhD curriculum and quarterly ProSeminars dealing specifically with critical analysis of the nursing research issues related to symptom experience and biopsychosocial and cultural influences on perception, evaluation and response (Fall), symptom management strategies for individuals and families (Winter) and symptom outcomes that include an emphasis on valid and reliable measures of such outcomes as quality of life and health care utilization and costs (Spring). These ProSeminars will be repeated for credit during the trainee's program of study. More involvement and higher expectations will be required for advanced students compared to first-year students. In addition to the required courses in the School of Nursing, trainees will have an opportunity to take courses at the Berkeley campus of the University of California and at Stanford University. They also have the opportunity to participate in courses and weekly conferences and specialty grand rounds offered through the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy at UCSF. Predoctoral fellows will do research residencies with extramurally-funded research teams on pain, dyspnea, or sleep/fatigue. The residencies focus on learning skills related to data collection and management, assessment, measurement in human and animal models, and grant management. These experiences will be facilitated by having the fellow actively involved in a core faculty member's research. Predoctoral trainees will also be required to complete a clinical residency in an area of symptom management. After predoctoral students have passed their qualifying examination, ProSeminars also offer an opportunity to complete a teaching residency. | Postdoctoral Program. There are four postdoctoral positions. Postdoctoral training is tailored to individual needs. Each program of study will focus on complex issues and advanced methodologies related to these three symptoms or symptom clusters. Postdoctoral fellows will be required to attend the three-quarter sequence of ProSeminars for the predoctoral students and additional time is spent in weekly scholarly dialogue to develop papers and draft grant proposals. In addition to Fall, Winter, and Spring ProSeminars, Summer Quarter will be spent in a required ProSeminar on grants management and activities involved in directing a research project, with emphasis on communicating with granting agencies, budgets, and grant writing activities that include abstracts, progress reports, and final reports. Clinical and teaching residencies are optional. Throughout the 2-year postdoctoral program, research residency experiences will be tailored to individual goals. Since many of the
faculty have overlapping projects, fellows will have opportunities to observe how different
research teams operate and how investigators from a variety of disciplines collaborate. |

The program centers on symptom experience and outcomes related to pain, dyspnea, or fatigue and sleep disturbance.
Particular emphasis is placed on physiologic as well as psychosocial dimensions of the symptom; qualitative and quantitative methods; designing studies on therapeutic strategies to improve symptom outcomes.
Fellows have the opportunity to pursue research training with faculty in the School of Nursing, faculty throughout the University and clinical services agencies in the San Francisco area.
The University and the diverse populations of the San Francisco Bay Area offer unique opportunities for the pursuit of research with minority populations.
The School of Nursing is building a culturally diverse faculty and student body to address the health care needs of our society. We are committed to under-represented populations.
All applicants to the pre-doctoral program must meet the general admission requirements for the PhD program of both the UCSF Graduate Division and the School of Nursing.
All applicants to the postdoctoral program must hold an earned doctorate. Either the Master's or Doctorate degree must be in nursing.
Preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate experience with, knowledge of, and sensitivity to the needs of under-represented populations. Applications are accepted at any time. Positions are filled on an availability basis.
