The fellowship curriculum will focus on three major training areas:
Core Clinical Curriculum (clinic-based primary care, outpatient principles of HIV medicine, inpatient HIV medicine)
Our fellows graduate with exceptional skills in HIV primary care. Fellows will have a structured didactic curriculum based on the National HIV Curriculum. Fellows will manage a complex panel of patients living with HIV with graded supervision from expert educators with years of clinical experience in an integrated health system. Fellows will also understand how to manage critically ill patients on the inpatient service at ZSFGH.
Research/Quality Improvement
Fellows will be paired with one or more research and/or quality mentors with a goal of completing a scholarly project or research project during their fellowship. The project will be chosen by the fellow.
Individualized curriculum
Fellows can select electives to strengthen and broaden their education based on their interests. Our fellows can choose to participate in a pathway (gender affirming care, community engagement/leadership, medical education, research/QI) to help strengthen these areas of interest as it relates to HIV care.

The DOR has the HIV Registry team, led by Dr. Michael Silverberg, which helps manage and track epidemiological data for KP Northern California, conduct clinical trials, and shares knowledge through publications, presentations and abstracts at national meetings.
