Continuous Learning
UC San Francisco aims to be a destination for learners across the community – faculty, staff, students and trainees – a place where those who seek to grow their knowledge and improve their skills have the opportunity to succeed in pursuit of our collective mission of advancing health worldwide.
Equity and Inclusion
Diversity is a defining feature of UC San Francisco and a source of strength that is critical to our success. Our differences – of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, socioeconomic status, abilities, experience and more – enhance our ability to achieve our core missions of research, teaching, patient care and public service. We are committed to enhancing an environment that includes, celebrates and serves our diverse communities.
Precision Medicine
Precision medicine aims to collect, connect, and apply vast amounts of scientific research data and information about our health – from the molecular understanding of disease to clinical, environmental, socioeconomic and mobile lifestyle data – to understand why individuals respond differently to treatments and therapies, and help guide more precise and predictive medicine worldwide.
Transformative Partnerships
UC San Francisco partners with entities across sectors- private, public, not for profit, and our community to accelerate our mission of advancing health worldwide. External partnerships bring valuable expertise, perspective and resources to UCSF. Such alliances also bring value-add to our partners, which look to collaborate with UCSF scientists and innovators such that we can collectively make an impact on societal well-being.
How You Can Help in a Disaster Situation
How can UCSF faculty, staff and students be prepared for the next disaster and assist those recovering from disasters? The Global Disaster Assistance Committee has compiled a number of options. In particular, we encourage you to be personally prepared for disasters, which can strike at any time.
Be Prepared
Have a disaster plan for your home and family, and be aware of the disaster plan at work.
Become a Volunteer
You can volunteer for a number of local, state and federal programs that assist people in disasters and receive training on how to respond in a disaster.
