Managing Change

Fortunately for those of us working through this time of significant change, UCSF does have support for change management and offers a variety of tools and settings.  These opportunities encompass activities that support an individuals’ ability to manage their career and their emotional well being. It also supports supervisors so that they can lead and support their staff during transitions.

Ultimately, it is up to each individual to take advantage of a program that caters to their particular needs.  We have identified multiple opportunities available to all members of the UCSF community – see the list and links below. You’ll note that some are existing programs and others are customized for a specific departmental request.
