| Confirmation of career aspirations/trajectory |
This program was also an influence in my choosing UCSF as a residency because I knew I was interested in having a role in education in my future and I thought that this program was a great way to get the introductory training necessary to succeed. (core tier learner) …it did influence my decision to pursue medical education as a strong component of my career - it pushed me to pursue additional training in Med Ed (Masters in Education at Berkeley) and sparked an interested in educational research that I did not know I had!

| Community/Networking with other educators and educators-in-training |
I think that the most beneficial part of the pathway was meeting like-minded people, hearing about other projects that are going on in medical education, and developing mentorship relationships. These have been invaluable and my mentors have really helped me grow and develop professionally - both in terms of career guidance as well as skills/project guidance. (core tier learner) The most significant impact of HPE would probably be the interactions with HPE course leadership. Their mentorship and guidance has continued to be a significant force in my professional life. (advanced tier learner)

| New knowledge and skills as an educator |
The Pathway has not only given me the tools to become a clinical educator, but also opened my eyes to education research and development. (core tier learner) I think that if a person has an interest in becoming an educator there are certain fundamental concepts in learning that one should be familiar with. Without the HPE pathway, I would have never been formally exposed to those concepts and had a chance to think about them critically and practice their use. I think that for sure I am a far more well-rounded individual in regards to being an asset to a future academic program having had this training. (core tier learner)
