Dear Colleagues:

This was another fantastic year for the UCSF Department of Medicine. In this note, I’ll highlight some of our major accomplishments in 2018 and a few of the big issues that are likely to take center stage in 2019.

Here is my take on the major issues facing the DOM, including some of our biggest opportunities and challenges.

Well, whatever your political preferences, you have to admit that 2016 was an odd and disconcerting year. For our department, though, it was an exceptional year, and 2017 promises to be even better. That’s not to say that there aren’t some storm clouds on the horizon, and some difficult choices that we’ll need to make. But we are well positioned to thrive and to lead.
