There’s no one better to ask about mentoring at UC San Francisco than Judith Hellman, MD, and Tor Neilands, PhD. 

Both have been honored with the 2025 Lifetime Achievement in Mentoring Award, presented annually through the UCSF Office of Faculty and Academic Affairs’ Faculty Mentoring Program.  In recent years, the award – recognizing the sustained commitment of senior faculty to mentoring – has been presented to Monica Gandhi, MD, MPH, and Kevin Shannon, MD, and Holly Ingraham, PhD. 

While the award often goes to one deserving faculty member, it’s now gone to two faculty members in the same year five times since it was created in 2007.
