University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)

University of California, San Francisco is a leading university dedicated to defining health worldwide through advanced biomedical research, graduate-level education in the life sciences and health professions, and excellence in patient care.

The roots of this public health sciences university, dedicated to saving lives and improving health, can be traced in San Francisco to the 1864 establishment of the Toland Medical College, which nine years later would become the Medical Department of a then fledgling University of California across the bay.

UCSF is devoted to public service and is very much a part of the San Francisco and Bay Area communities. Through its patient care and research, reliance on neighborhood businesses, campus activities — including lectures and programs for the general public — and outreach efforts, UCSF's reach and impact stretch far into the community.
