Pulmonary & Critical Care
| |
The mission of the Pulmonary Division today is to continue to provide comprehensive medical care for the community, to develop innovative research aimed at elucidating basic mechanisms of disease, and to translate its research activities into both new clinical initiatives and a rich training environment for the next generation of academic physician scientists. Although the Pulmonary Division has one overall mission, it is inherently multi-dimensional. The Division is comprised of three hospital sites – UCSF Medical Center at Parnassus, San Francisco General Hospital Medical Center, and the San Francisco VA Medical Center – each of which emphasize different aspects of care for patients with lung disease. The Division is also intricately linked to the Cardiovascular Research Institute and the Immunology Program on the Parnassus campus and the Lung Biology Center on the San Francisco General Hospital campus. The 42 Division faculty have diverse interests and expertise. This Web site highlights these important elements of the Division and hopefully facilitates communication and information access for patients, practicing physicians, scientists, and trainees interested in a career in pulmonary medicine.
