We’re Hiring: Join the CHESA Team
Over five billion people lack access to safe, timely, affordable surgical, anesthesia and perioperative care. The CHESA Global Health Equity Fellowship — the largest global surgery fellowship of its kind in the world — exists to close that gap by investing in the workforce that delivers this essential care.
We’re hiring for two full-time roles based at UCSF’s Mission Bay campus in San Francisco:
- Program Manager: Lead the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of the CHESA Fellowship. You’ll shape the fellow experience end to end — curriculum, facilitation, faculty and partner relationships, budget, and monitoring and evaluation. We’re looking for someone strategic and execution-oriented, with experience managing complex, mission-driven programs across global health, international development, public health, or related sectors.

- Operations Coordinator: Keep the fellowship and broader CHESA activities running while serving as a first point of contact for fellows and partners navigating UCSF systems. We’re looking for someone highly organized, detail-oriented, and energized by problem-solving in service of a mission-driven program. Apply now →
Both roles offer the chance to work alongside a global network of brilliant and inspiring faculty and frontline clinicians — alumni fellows include Burundi’s first pediatric surgeon and Haiti’s first pediatric ophthalmologist — and to help build the infrastructure behind that work.
The UCSF Center for Health Equity in Surgery and Anesthesia (CHESA) expands equitable access to perioperative care through partnerships that strengthen capacity and advance priorities across three interconnected fronts: education, research, and advocacy. To date, our fellowship has trained 80+ fellows across 18+ countries, 71% from low- and middle-income countries and 49% women.
