Participants in the program take part in seminars, lectures, and social events, creating a cohesive and supportive community.

Students will also engage in small-group sessions centered around restorative justice practices to establish the importance of creating a community of care during their program’s orientation. Restorative justice practices are philosophical and humanizing approaches that focuses on repairing harm, making things right, and restoring the community. Incorporating restorative justice practices into our work helps UCSF create safer spaces for people to be brave and vulnerable in an open dialogue that facilitates healing in the community.
