Master Clinicians

The Council of Master Clinicians was established to honor members of our faculty distinguished by their commitment to clinical medicine and their superb clinical skills. 

For the last 14 years, the UCSF Department of Medicine has honored 3-4 of our most esteemed clinical faculty with the title of “Master Clinician.” Master clinicians are distinguished by their commitment to clinical medicine and their superb clinical skills. They are sought out by peers and trainees for their diagnostic reasoning, clinical skills and their desire to acquire and share new knowledge as well as their demonstrated ability to provide compassionate, equitable care to all patients. Essentially, they are the “doctor’s doctor” – someone you would send family members to.

Thanks to the generosity of a donor, we recently established an annual Master Clinician Visiting Professorship, who will give the Gurpreet Dhaliwal Lecture in Medicine every fall at Grand rounds, named of course after our legendary clinician-educator and Master Clinician Dr. Gurpreet Dhaliwal. Our inaugural Gurpreet Dhaliwal Lecture in Medicine took place on September 26, 2019 at Parnassus with Kimberly Manning, MD as our first speaker.
