About this School

The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is one of the world's leading centers of health sciences research, patient care, and education. UCSF's medical, pharmacy, dental, nursing, and graduate schools are among the top health science professional schools in the world. The UCSF Medical Center is consistently ranked among the top 10 hospitals in the United States. Patients from around the world with rare and difficult diseases are referred to UCSF for treatment. Some of UCSF's most renowned treatment centers include kidney and liver transplant, neurosurgery, neurology, oncology, gene therapy, women's health, and internal medicine. UCSF also has the nation's leading HIV/AIDS treatment and research centers. Collaboration with African Universities such as the University of Zimbabwe to deal with HIV have been established. UCSF Medical School is the only medical school in the country to rank in the top 5 for both "research" and "primary care." Founded in 1873, the mission of UCSF is to serve as a "public university dedicated to saving lives and improving health." Though one of the ten campuses of the University of California, it is unique for being the only University of California campus dedicated solely to graduate education, and this in health and biomedical sciences. The single undergraduate program provides students with a Bachelor of Science degree in Dental hygiene. UCSF has developed a reputation for unique interdisciplinary collaboration between the health science disciplines which has led to some of the most important discoveries in the biosciences. The graduate-focused environment of UCSF, its relatively small size, and its culture of collaboration allows for a flexibility to translate new discoveries into new treatments hard to find even at many of the world's other top medical centers.
