Training Sites

UCSF Medical Center and Moffitt-Long Hospital are located on the main UCSF campus (adjacent to Golden Gate Park) in close proximity to the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, and Pharmacy. Moffitt-Long Hospital is a 500 bed (adults) facility and serves as a tertiary and quaternary referral center and an important provider of primary care to residents of San Francisco. In addition to regular floor beds, there are three telemetry/stepdown units and five intensive care units (ICUs). The Department of Medicine at this site has led the nation in developing academic primary care programs as well as an academic hospitalist model. Internal Medicine residents will have the opportunity to rotate on multiple inpatient services at this site including: general medicine, cardiology, liver transplant, intensive care unit, emergency medicine, and subspecialty electives.

The Mount Zion Medical Center is approximately one mile north of the main UCSF campus and serves as a major ambulatory training site, providing continuity clinics for our residents in conjunction with the activities of faculty in the UCSF Division of General Internal Medicine. The UCSF Cancer Center, the Center for Excellence in Women's Health, the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, and many key ambulatory subspecialties (e.g., dermatology and sports medicine) are also located here. Residents may elect to do ambulatory experiences in each of these areas over the course of their training.

Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFG) is consistently recognized as one of the most prominent public hospitals in the nation. Located in southeastern San Francisco, ZSFG has a long history of serving the city's underserved population. ZSFG faculty members have been leaders in developing training programs that focus on care of the underserved and homeless populations. It is also nationally recognized for its research programs in HIV disease, lung biology, and tuberculosis. Internal Medicine residents rotate on the following services at ZSFG: general medicine, ICU, emergency medicine, and subspecialty consult services. Many residents also maintain their continuity clinic at ZSFG.

The San Francisco VA Medical Center (SFVAMC) is a tertiary referral center serving veterans across Northern California, and one of the VA's leading research institutions nationally. It is located in the northwest corner of San Francisco, with gorgeous views of the ocean and Golden Gate Bridge. The SFVAMC is home to some of UCSF's most beloved educators, and residents consistently describe it as one of the most rewarding places to train. Many housestaff have their continuity clinic, longitudinal subspecialty clinics, or both, here. Residents also rotate through inpatient general medicine and the ICU. Above all, the SFVAMC reflects a deep, mission-driven commitment to caring for veterans, an often underserved population whose complex needs make for some of the richest clinical learning in the program.
