The sixth-annual Research and Clinical Excellence Day paid tribute to the scientific breakthroughs and high-quality patient care that have helped make the UCSF School of Dentistry an international leader in advancing health.

UCSF leaders took the stage recently to promote interprofessional collaboration and call attention to health care disparities.

The Kaiser Permanente Research Program on Genes, Environment, and Health (RPGEH) and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have been awarded $24.8 million over two years by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to create a new resource for studying disease, health, and aging.

UCSF has opened a state-of-the-art facility at Mission Bay that provides custom-tailored care to all patients, from professional athletes to amputees.

Five UCSF faculty scientists are among the 65 newly elected members to the Institute of Medicine (IOM), part of the National Academy of Sciences. Election to IOM is considered one of the highest honors in the fields of health and medicine. The new members were announced today (Oct. 12, 2009) at the IOM annual meeting.

UCSF has launched a website to serve as a source of information for faculty, staff and trainees, who have questions about the medical group’s new relationship with Hill Physicians Medical Group.
