Clinical Excellence, Compassionate Care
& Innovative Research: Taught by Example
The UCSF Department of Surgery mission is
threefold: to develop the next generation of leaders in surgery; to
provide outstanding quality clinical care that is cost effective,
yet compassionate; and to make significant advances in scientific
knowledge and clinical practice through basic and clinical
research. The care of patients is what attracted most of our
faculty and residents into surgery initially, and it continues
to be the focus of much of our attention.
