Charlene Larson Rotandi

Associate Director of Fellowship Education, Pediatrics

BioI am the Associate Director of Fellowship Education in the Office of Pediatric Education. I have extensive experience managing fellowship and residency programs across leading academic institutions, including pediatric and graduate medical education roles. My background has equipped me with strong program administration, coordination, and leadership skills within medical education.

I am actively involved in the Association of Pediatric Program Directors (APPD) and currently serve on the Communications Work Group for the Coordinators’ Executive Committee. I have a strong track record of collaborating on initiatives focused on professional development, coordinator wellness, and program evaluation. My experience includes leading workshops and contributing to key areas such as curriculum development, assessment, and program coordinator professional development. Additionally, I am passionate about mentoring and continuously seek opportunities to collaborate and support others in the field.

Outside of graduate medical education, I am the mother of a very active and curious twelve-year-old. I also enjoy spending time with my family exploring the Bay Area, hiking, cooking, and enjoying food, wine, and the vibrant arts culture. After a brief stint as a pastry cook, I love to cook and bake with my son. Additionally, I continue to be involved in my alma mater, Vassar College, by co-chairing the Vassar Alumnae/i Admissions Program in San Francisco.
