State of the UCSF Department of Medicine

In his annual Department of Medicine update, Bob Wachter will review the performance of the DOM’s educational, clinical, and research programs over the past year. He will also spotlight the key issues of 2025, including the implications of current and potential federal policy changes. This State of the Department will focus on activities within the UCSF Health sites but should be of general interest to the entire department.

Speaker:

Robert M. Wachter, MD, is Professor and Chair of the UCSF Department of Medicine. Author of 300 articles and 6 books, he coined the term “hospitalist” in 1996 and is often considered the “father” of the hospitalist field, the fastest-growing medical specialty in U.S. history. He is past president of the Society of Hospital Medicine, past chair of the ABIM, a Master of the American College of Physicians, and an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine. Modern Healthcare magazine has ranked him as one of the 50 most influential physician-executives in the U.S. more than a dozen times; he was #1 on the list in 2015. His 2015 book, The Digital Doctor: Hope, Hype and Harm at the Dawn of Medicine’s Computer Age, was a New York Times science bestseller. His new book, A Giant Leap: How AI is Transforming Healthcare – and What That Means for Our Future, will be published in late 2025.
